About this map

Redding Ridge and the Aspetuck Valley define this Fairfield County landscape, where traditional rural settlements like Hattertown and Palestine remain visible among a network of historic burial grounds. The map preserves the locations of several significant local cemeteries, including the Old Indian Cem and the Tashua Burial Ground, providing essential data for genealogists and local historians. This era shows a complex hydrological system characterized by major catchments like the Saugatuck Reservoir and Easton Reservoir, alongside smaller bodies such as Mother Superior Lake and Hattertown Pond. Transportation history is evident in the Housatonic Rail Trl, while modern landmarks like the Flying Ridge Airstrip and the ATT Utility Line Trl cut across the hills of Sanfordtown and Upper Stepney. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks including Meekers Hill and Tashua Hill, illustrating the enduring agricultural and residential footprint of the region.
