This beautifully designed map of Newington, Connecticut was created by KNOWOL in 2026. It shows the town and its streets as they look in the modern day, combining topographical data with the beautiful aesthetic of vintage atlases. The map was built from public survey records and professional geographic data that modern day cartographers rely on. The shaded terrain around Downtown and Newington Junction comes straight from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and every street name was taken from Census Bureau files, down to Maple Hill Avenue.
Local historical buildings and landmarks such as Newington Junction North Historic District were confirmed against the National Park Service and the National Register of Historic Places, while Town Hall, the paths, parks, and points of interest come from OpenStreetMap, a database of local knowledge kept current by people who live in and know the area.
The combination of modern data with a vintage historical map aesthetic creates a one-of-a-kind piece made for people who call Newington home. It is a memory of the town, as it is today. You can zoom in on the map below to explore the details, or click here to purchase a print for your home.
