2018 Map of Colchester

About this map

Colchester serves as the focal point of this 2018 survey, where several historic burial sites like the Colchester Burying Ground Cem and Linwood Cem underscore the area's long-standing settlement history. The landscape is defined by its transition from the town center to the surrounding wetlands and hills, including Mill Hill and the distinctive Rattlesnake Ledges to the south. Water plays a central role in the geography of the region, from the recreational Amston Lake in the north to Lake Hayward and the Deep River Reservoir which dominate the southern half of the quadrangle.
