2012 Map of Coventry

About this map

Wangumbaug Lake anchors the southern landscape of this 2012 survey, where the town of Coventry has grown around its shores. To the northeast, the sprawling campus of the University of Connecticut and the University of Connecticut Experiment Farm signal the region's educational and agricultural prominence. The Willimantic River carves a corridor through the center of the sheet, followed closely by the tracks of the Central Vermont RR, connecting the historic mill and depot hamlets of South Willington, Merrow, and Mansfield Depot. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds, including the Nathan Hale Cem near the lake and Tolland Cem in the north. The terrain is marked by significant rises such as Riley Mountain and Cassidy Hill, which overlook a network of tributary streams including Brigham Tavern Brook and Skungamaug River.
