Connecticut Maps
Maps, Atlases & Gazetteers - Maps are an invaluable part of family history research, especially if you live far from where your ancestor lived. Because political boundaries often changed, historic maps are critical in helping you discover the precise location of your ancestor's hometown, what land they owned, who their neighbors were, and more.
Essential companions to place-name directories in Connecticut are the fine series of Beers atlases produced in the 1860s and 70s detailing structures, property owners, places of business, schools, cemeteries, and churches in each town. Bound in foliosized books by county, many Connecticut libraries, in addition to the Connecticut State Library, have these excellent resources. The earlier 1852 Clark’s county maps are equally available at the same locations. Present-day street maps by county are readily available in most large stationery stores.
