1967 Map of Ellington

About this map

Shenipsit Lake and the dense woodland of the Shenipsit State Forest dominate the eastern reaches of this Tolland County landscape. The terrain transitions from the low-lying agricultural and residential areas around Ellington and Windermere in the southwest to the elevated ridges of Soapstone Mtn and Bald Mtn. This mid-century survey captures the region as suburban expansion began to interface with its rural roots, evidenced by the presence of the Ellington Airport and several local schools like the Somers High Sch.
