About this map

Saint Johns Ledges and Calebs Peak dominate the southern landscape where the Housatonic River carves its way through the Litchfield Hills. This 2021 survey of the area near Kent, Connecticut, illustrates a high-elevation terrain defined by peaks like Sharon Mtn and Skiff Mtn, interspersed with numerous upland water bodies such as Fuller Pond and Peck Pond. Small settlements like Ellsworth and Mitcheltown reflect the enduring rural character of the region.

Tracing the eastern and southern ridges, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail follows a winding path through steep contours, passing landmarks like Silver Hill and Bread Loaf Mtn. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds across the hills, including Ellsworth Cem and the Bolland District Cem. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through the networks of Macedonia Brook and Guinea Brook, which feed into the primary river valley below.
