2024 Map of Haddam

About this map

Haddam and Higganum anchor this modern topographical study, which details a landscape deeply connected to the Connecticut River and its numerous tributaries. The map highlights significant genealogical sites, from the ancient Thirty Mile Island Plantation Burial Yard to smaller parish grounds like Saint Mary Cem and the Stone House Cem. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Higganum Creek and Candlewood Hill Brook, revealing how the terrain influenced the placement of villages such as Ponset and Little City. Inland, the Higganum Reservoir and Scovill Reservoir dominate the upland geography, while protected spaces like the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge preserve the riverfront ecosystem. This survey is particularly useful for identifying family burial plots and old crossroads that have persisted through centuries of development.
