This vintage map of Middletown, Connecticut was created in 1915. This restored edition brings the historic Middletown map to life while preserving the original linework and the town's dense street grid, the Connecticut River, its bridge, riverfront docks, surrounding farmland, and the framing rows of building vignettes along the top and bottom margins.
About This Historic Map
Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Middletown in the mid-1910s, when the town was shaped by its Connecticut River commerce, rail and road connections, riverfront industry, and surrounding farmland. The view sweeps from the wooded hills at left across the compact downtown and out to the wide, curving Connecticut River, where boats and a bridge mark the eastern edge of the city.
Notable features shown on the map include the Connecticut River, the river bridge and waterfront docks, the town's tight network of streets and rail lines, and the illustrated border vignettes of local buildings and businesses that ring the top and bottom of the sheet - the everyday landmarks that shaped life in Middletown in that era.
For anyone who grew up in Middletown, went to school here, or traces family roots back to the banks of the Connecticut River, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the streets you walked, the riverfront that defined the town, and the memories that keep families connected to Middletown.
A statement piece for any room, this reproduction is printed using KNOWOL's restored version of the 1915 Middletown map, preserving the historic character of the original while adding depth, warmth, and visual clarity. It makes a meaningful addition to a home, office, library, den, family room, or local history collection.
