1956 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

The Housatonic River carves a deep valley through this mid-century Litchfield County landscape, defining the southeastern border between the towns of Sharon, Cornwall, and Warren. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and high meadows, including Sharon Mountain and Ellsworth Hill, where scattered agricultural settlements and rural intersections like Pearson Corners and Calhoun Corners provide evidence of long-established community patterns. Genealogists will find value in the documentation of several small burial grounds, such as Bolland District Cem and Skiff Mtn Cem, which are tucked away on high ground away from the main river valley.
