About this map

The town of Ellington and its surrounding countryside are captured here in a 2015 study, reflecting a landscape defined by its network of brooks and the prominent ridges of the Eastern Highlands. The terrain is anchored by summits such as Soapstone Mtn and Chestnut Mtn, which overlook a series of suburban and rural clusters including Somersville, Somers, and Windermere. This period shows the established residential patterns along corridors like Main ST and Crystal Lake RD, while preserving large tracts of open space and water bodies like Shenipsit Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through several listed burial grounds, such as New West Cem and Charter Cem. The inclusion of Ellington Airport and Wysocki Field highlights the area's mid-century aviation and recreational infrastructure. Numerous smaller water features, including Somersville Pond and the headwaters of Broad Brook, illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that historically powered local industry and shaped the development of these Connecticut communities.
