The Connecticut River defines the eastern edge of this landscape, framing the historical settlements of Haddam, Higganum, and Rock Landing. Moving inland, the terrain is shaped by a complex network of brooks and reservoirs, including the Scovill Reservoir and Higganum Reservoir, which historically supported the local milling and manufacturing industries. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural geography, marked by numerous family and neighborhood burying grounds such as the Little City Cem, Burr District Cem, and the uniquely named Stone House Cem.
