2018 Map of Fitchville

About this map

Fitchville and the neighboring settlements of Gilman and Yantic cluster along the Yantic River in this detailed survey of New London County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial hills, including Meeting House Hill, Misery Hill, and Ayers Mtn, interspersed with numerous ponds and brooks that powered early local industry. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, such as the Gardner-Bulkeley Cem, Bozrah Rural Cem, and Scott Hill Cem. To the south, the waters of Gardner Lake feature the distinct Minnie Island, while the eastern portion of the map transition into the outskirts of Norwich. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, where family-named landmarks like Gager Field and Bashon Hill remain central to the geography.
