About this map

The Housatonic River carves through the western edge of this Litchfield County landscape, defining a region of steep summits and high-elevation ponds. The settlement pattern is anchored by Cornwall, West Cornwall, and Cornwall Bridge, while the legend-shrouded location of Dudleytown sits isolated on the slopes of Woodbury Mtn. The terrain is remarkably varied, featuring the prominent heights of Mohawk Mtn and Coltsfoot Mtn, which overlook the complex drainage systems of Furnace Brook and the W-Br Shepaug River.

Water management and local history are evident in the presence of the Upper Shepaug Reservoir and the Cranberry Bog to the south. Numerous family-named burial grounds, such as Allen Cem and Wright Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing valuable data points for genealogists. The road network, including the Sharon Goshen Tpke and Ballyhack Rd, follows the contours of the land, connecting small hamlets like Milton and North Cornwall across the ridge-and-valley topography.
