1945 Map of Eastford

About this map

The Still River and its numerous tributaries, including Bungee Brook and Bradford Brook, carve a complex network through the rural landscape of eastern Connecticut. During this mid-century period, the area around Eastford and West Woodstock remains primarily defined by small settlements and institutional camps like Camp Woodstock and Camp Keemosahbee. The distribution of local landmarks such as the Red and White Sch and the Arke Sch suggests a community structure still tied to traditional district education and local gathering points. The rugged hills, ranging from Bungee Hill to Pisgah Hill, are interspersed with significant water bodies like Crystal Pond and Chamberlain Pond, illustrating a terrain that naturally limited large-scale urban development. Public land preservation is already established at the Nathaniel Lyon State Forest, while the presence of the Bridge Cen and Grove Cem provides valuable data for those tracing local family lineages in Windham County.
