2018 Map of Ellington

About this map

Shenipsit Lake and the surrounding highlands of northern Connecticut define this area at the Tolland and Hartford county line. The settlement patterns of Ellington, Somers, and Somersville are clearly visible, illustrating the transition from agricultural valley lands to the wooded ridges of Soapstone Mtn and Bald Mtn. Local infrastructure is marked by specialized facilities like the Ellington Airport and the New England Tractor Trailer Training School of Connecticut, while numerous burial grounds, including North Cem and Charter Cem, provide vital spatial data for local genealogy. The landscape is deeply etched by a network of waterways such as the Scantic River and Kibbes Brook, which historically drove the local economy and development. This survey serves as a precise record of the mix of suburban growth and preserved open spaces like Wysocki Field that characterizes the region in the early twenty-first century.
