About this map

The Scantic River winds through this North Central Connecticut landscape, anchoring a network of small manufacturing and agricultural villages during the mid-1960s. Industrial heritage is evident at Broad Brook, where the Broad Brook Millpond and Broad Brook Res supported local water-powered mills. The northern reaches of the quadrangle include the suburban growth of Thompsonville and Hazardville, while the western edge is defined by the broad Connecticut River and Kings Island.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like the Town Street Cem and Scantic Ch, or the location of the County Home near Warehouse Point. Significant institutional landmarks are noted throughout, from the Harriet Beecher Stowe Sch to the specialized Trolley Museum. The presence of Peltons Pasture State Board of Fisheries and the U.S. Military Reservation reflects the region's diverse mix of state conservation efforts and federal land use.
