About this map

The town of Eastford and its surrounding hill country define this detailed topographic portrait of northeastern Connecticut during the early 1980s. The landscape is characterized by a high density of named water bodies and protected lands, notably the Nipmuck State Forest in the north and the extensive Natchaug State Forest to the south. Small, historic crossroads like Woodstock Valley and Kenyonville are shown alongside active community landmarks such as Camp Woodstock and the Windham-Tolland 4 H Camp on Taft Pond Road.

The map provides significant detail for genealogists, recording numerous small burial grounds including North Ashford Cem and Spalding Cem. The transition from industrial or agricultural pasts to recreational and residential use is evident in the residential developments around Lake Bungee and Witches Woods Lake. The drainage patterns of the Still River and Bigelow Brook illustrate the region's complex hydrology, while the preservation of Yale Forest indicates a long-standing commitment to forestry and education in this part of Windham County.
