2012 Map of Botsford

About this map

Redding Ridge and Stepney anchor this 2012 survey, which highlights the dense network of small settlements and historical sites throughout the Greater Bridgeport region. The landscape is notably punctuated by numerous burial grounds, such as the Old Indian Cem and Tashua Burial Ground, providing a detailed record for genealogical research. Water management and infrastructure are central to the terrain, with both the Saugatuck Reservoir and Aspetuck Reservoir occupying significant portions of the southern quadrangle. The map captures a sophisticated suburban-rural interface where established villages like Palestine, Hattertown, and Sanfordtown sit alongside modern developments. Notable landmarks such as Flying Ridge Airstrip and Lakewood Camp indicate the area's varied land use, from residential and agricultural to recreational and utility-focused. The winding courses of the Aspetuck River and Pootatuck River define the local drainage patterns that historically influenced the placement of these early Connecticut towns.
