1953 Map of Eastford

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Natchaug River and Bigelow Brook carve through a landscape of dense woodland and scattered agricultural clearings in this mid-century portrait of northeastern Connecticut. Several small hubs of settlement anchor the local geography, including Eastford, Phoenixville, and West Woodstock. The map illustrates a rural society organized around small civic institutions, with the Red and White Sch and numerous burial grounds like North Ashford Cem and Woodstock Central Cem serving as local landmarks. Large tracts of public land are already established, notably the Nipmuck State Forest and Natchaug State Forest, the latter of which features a Lookout Tower on a high point. Hydrological features dominate the terrain, from the large Crystal Pond to numerous smaller bodies like Morse Meadow Pond and Chamberlain Pond, illustrating the water-rich character of the Windham County highlands.
