About this map

Columbia Lake and the town of Columbia anchor this central Connecticut landscape, where the headwaters of the Hop River and Tenmile River carve through a terrain of named rises like Utley Hill and Post Hill. The map documents a blend of established residential areas and preserved open spaces, such as Wells Woods and the Waters Edge Campground on the shores of Williams Pond. Local heritage is well-preserved in several burial grounds, including the Andover Road Cem and Saint Peters Cem near Hebron.

Unique land uses are evident across the quadrangle, from the Metenosky Aviation Field in the north to the Nutmeg Vineyard and Winery near Bunker Hill. The hydrology of the region is particularly dense, featuring numerous smaller bodies of water like Mono Pond, Holbrook Pond, and Amston Lake. This survey illustrates the modern road network, including Pucker St and Bear Swamp Rd, which connects the historic village centers of Andover and Liberty Hill.
