Maps and Charts: Finding Your Place in Connecticut History

Label TextTwo different maps of Newington, Connecticut are printed on the two sides of this single sheet. On one side is a straightforward street map of the town, which was originally created in 1942 and subsequently updated; on the other side is a zoning map, which was originally created in 1930, and likewise updated to reflect subsequent changes. While the street map is a strictly local product, based on Metropolitan District maps and drawn by a local engineer, the zoning map was compiled by a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania engineering firm. It is interesting to speculate why a Pittsburgh firm might have been hired to create a map of Newington in 1930 instead of a more local entity.
