About this map

Natchaug State Forest dominates the upper reaches of this mid-century survey, where the Natchaug River carves a path through eastern Connecticut. The landscape is a network of small upland settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Lyon Hill and Paine Hill, alongside the Nathaniel Lyon Memorial. The economy and transit of the era are defined by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, which links the communities of Rawson, Elliotts, and the Hampton Station stop. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through several burial grounds, including North Cem and Litchfield Cem. Water resources are abundant, ranging from the large Hampton Reservoir to smaller ponds like Bigelow Pond and Pine Acres Lake, illustrating the rural and agricultural character of Windham County before the expansion of modern suburban infrastructure.
