1983 Map of Fitchville

About this map

Fitchville and the surrounding township of Bozrah are defined by the winding course of the Yantic River as it passes through the center of this New London County landscape. During the early 1980s, the area maintained a balance between rural hill country and modern infrastructure, as evidenced by the proximity of the Central Vermont railroad line to several major interchanges. Small crossroads like Bozrah Street and Smith Corner anchor the community, while the presence of numerous family-named burial grounds including Parker Cem and Gardner Bulkeley Cem provides significant clues for genealogical research. The map also highlights the recreational importance of the region's large water bodies, such as Gardner Lake and Red Cedar Lake, which are bordered by state parklands like Minnie Island State Park. Local education and civil services are represented by landmarks such as Fields Mem Sch and the Radio Tower (WEDN).
