DescriptionMap showing buildings in the area of Main Street, Maple Street, Cottage Street, Water Street, Back Street, and Furnace Street in Danielson, Connecticut. Buildings include mills, sheds, dwellings, barns, a boarding house and two blacksmith shops. The large new mill has a boiler room and an engine room. The owners of the dwellings are not indicated; presumably these buildings belonged to the Danielsonville Cotton Company. The Danielsonville Cotton Company's mill pond is to the north. Furnace Street and the Norwich and Worcester Railroad are to the east. The Quinebaug Company's pond is to the west. Dams, gates, a raceway, and iron bolts are also shown along the Five Mile River. A sixteen-point compass rose pointing to magnetic north is at the upper left.
