About this map

Durham Center serves as the central hub of this South Central Connecticut landscape, where the Coginchaug River and Allyn Brook converge near the town's primary post office. The 2012 geography reveals a mix of persistent agricultural roots and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the Linmar Dairy Farm and Maplewood Farm Airport situated just west of the main village. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and summits, including Pistapaug Mountain and Fowler Mountain to the west, and the expansive Broomstick Ledges further south.

Genealogists and local historians can find points of interest at the Bluff Head Cem and the settlement of Rockland near the Hammonasset River. The map also captures significant water bodies like Quonnipaug Lake and Millers Pond, which illustrate the region's complex drainage patterns. From the Guilford Lookout Tower atop Bluff Head to the smaller hamlets like Beaver Head Corner, the survey details the transition from established town centers to the more isolated upland ridges of the interior.
