About this map

The Naugatuck River and Housatonic River confluence defines the industrial and residential core of Ansonia, Derby, and Shelton. This modern geographic portrait shows the dense urban development around East Derby and Sunnyside, transitioning into the wooded uplands of Woodbridge and Orange. The landscape is dotted with numerous established burial grounds, including the Elm Street Cem and the hillside Pine Grove Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of New Haven County.

Water management is prominent throughout the area, with numerous reservoirs like Quillinan Reservoir and Wepawaug Reservoir situated among the heights of Baldwin Hill and Grassy Hill. The presence of river islands such as Sullivan Island and Wooster Island illustrates the hydrology of the lower river valleys, while the New Haven and Fairfield county line cuts through the western portion of the map.
