1984 Map of Hampton

About this map

Natchaug State Forest and the James L Goodwin State Forest dominate the landscape of eastern Windham County, where the Natchaug River and Little River systems dictate the local topography. This early 1980s data reveals a region of small, established settlements like Hampton and Abington connected by a network of rural routes such as Griffin Highway and Old Town Pound Road. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including North Cem, South Cem, and Chewink Cem, providing vital clues for family history research in this part of Connecticut. The presence of Pine Acres Lake and Hampton Reservoir highlights the importance of water management in this wooded terrain, while landmarks like Nathaniel Lyon Memorial Park reflect the local heritage and preservation efforts of the era.
