About this map

Columbia Lake and Andover Lake anchor this 2015 topography, which follows the winding course of the Hop River and Tenmile River across the Tolland and New London county lines. The settlement pattern reveals the historic rural centers of Columbia, Andover, and Hebron, where local heritage is preserved in sites like Saint Peters Cem and Andover Road Cem.

Infrastructure here is defined by historic river crossings and water management, including Chesborough Bridge, Parker Bridge, and the smaller Leonards Bridge. Numerous small water bodies, such as Mono Pond, Robinson Pond, and Brousseous Pond, suggest a landscape shaped by local mills and agricultural drainage. These features, along with named heights like Post Hill and Chestnut Hill, provide a detailed look at the physical and social geography of this part of Connecticut.
