2024 Map of East Killingly

About this map

Killingly Center and the surrounding woodlands of eastern Connecticut reveal a landscape defined by small-scale farming and old family estates along the border with Rhode Island. Numerous small, private family burial plots such as the Dr Solomon Drowne Lot and the Alonzo Shippee Lot are scattered throughout the hills, providing a detailed record of the families who worked this land. The rugged topography is punctuated by prominent heights like Jerimoth Hill and Mashentuck Mtn, while the water system is anchored by the Fivemile River and numerous reservoirs, including the Bog Meadow Reservoir and Alvia Chase Reservoir. The prevalence of small-acreage "Lots" and private cemeteries near North Foster and South Killingly offers significant genealogy value, showing the exact locations of ancestral homes and final resting places that are often missed on more generalized maps of the region.
