1945 Map of Eastford

About this map

The Still River and Bigelow Brook drain this mid-century landscape in Windham County, where small villages like Eastford, Phoenixville, and West Woodstock remain connected by winding rural roads. The map reveals a community structured around its water bodies and topography, featuring landmarks such as Camp Woodstock on Black Pond and Camp Keemosahbee on the shores of Crystal Pond. The northern reaches include parts of the Natchaug State Forest, while local education is represented by the Red and White Sch and the Arke Sch. This survey provides a clear view of the area's agricultural and social fabric before later modern development, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries including Bungee Cem and Grove Cem that served these historic townships.
