About this map

East Killingly and its neighboring villages serve as the focus of this borderland survey, where the Connecticut and Rhode Island state lines meet amid the rocky elevations of the Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region. The landscape is defined by its many water bodies, from the Fivemile River in the northwest to the Moosup River in the southeast, with numerous smaller ponds like Lake Albert and Shippee Sawmill Pond scattered across the terrain. These water sources historically powered the mills and farms that established the region's character.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Old South Killingly Cem and Old Chestnut Hill Cem, which sit alongside established routes like Chestnut Hill Rd. The topographic detail highlights prominent landmarks such as Jerimoth Hill and Mashentuck Mountain, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Yankee Airstrip near the northern boundary. Small clusters at Killingly Center and South Killingly illustrate the enduring settlement pattern of this rural corridor.
