1967 Map of Ellington

About this map

Shenipsit State Forest dominates the eastern highlands of this Tolland County landscape, where the terrain rises sharply to Soapstone Mtn and its Lookout Tower. The lowlands to the west are defined by the winding course of the Scantic River and the rural centers of Somersville, Somers, and Ellington. The area reflects a mid-century transition from traditional agriculture to a more recreational and residential character, evidenced by the presence of a Golf Course and the developed shorelines of Crystal Lake and Lake Bonair. Local infrastructure is well-documented, featuring several schools like Avery Sch and Center Sch, along with an Ellington Airport and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the region's earlier transportation network. For genealogists, several burial grounds including North Cem and West Cem provide specific points of interest across the townships.
