2015 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

The Housatonic River carves a deep valley through the Litchfield Hills, defining the eastern border of this 2015 landscape where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across high ridges. Uplands like Sharon Mtn and Skiff Mtn separate small, historical hamlets such as Ellsworth and Mitcheltown. The density of community cemeteries, including Ellsworth Cem, East Street Cem, and the Skiff Mountain Cem, speaks to the long-established settlement patterns of this corner of Connecticut. In the south, the terrain descends toward North Kent, while the western edge is defined by the headwaters of Macedonia Brook. This modern topographic survey highlights how ancient family-named landmarks like Calebs Peak and Saint Johns Ledges continue to anchor the region's geography alongside more recent conservation corridors.
