About this map

The Housatonic River and its major tributaries, the Konkapot River and Blackberry River, anchor this landscape at the border of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The river valleys support established settlements such as Ashley Falls and Canaan, while the surrounding uplands are defined by named peaks like Miles Mtn and Rattlesnake Hill. This survey highlights the region's enduring rural character and historical infrastructure, including the Old Covered Bridge crossing Hubbard Brook and the Covered Bridge further south.

Local heritage is well-preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Barnard Cem, Hewins Cem, and Carroll Cem. The transition from industrial and agricultural history to modern utility is visible in features like the Whiting River Reservoir and the North Canaan Aviation Facilities Inc Airport. From the wetlands of Barnum Street Swamp and Robbins Swamp to the clusters of homes in Sodom and Canaan Valley, the map details a community deeply integrated with its hydrological network.
