• DESCRIPTION: "South Manchester, Scitico & Tariffville." This detailed 1893 map by D. H. Hurd captures the towns of South Manchester, Scitico, and Tariffville in Hartford County, offering a snapshot of their roads, property boundaries, and landowners. South Manchester was a booming mill town, home to the famous Cheney Brothers silk industry, while Scitico and Tariffville thrived as smaller industrial and farming communities. Maps like this were more than just geographical tools—they documented the changing landscape of Connecticut as industry grew, railroads expanded, and rural towns adapted to modernization, preserving a moment in time before suburbanization reshaped the region.
