2015 Map of Jewett City

About this map

The Quinebaug River and Pachaug River converge at Jewett City, anchoring a landscape shaped by water power and colonial-era settlement. This 2015 update details a corridor of historically significant villages, including Clayville, Hopeville, and Pachaug, where mill ponds like Ashland Pond and Grist Mill Pond speak to the region's industrial heritage. The survey is particularly valuable for genealogical research, locating numerous family and community burial grounds such as Crary Cem, Leonard Cem, and Fobes-Amos Cem scattered across the uplands. From the heights of Bay Mtn to the shoreline of Amos Lake, the map documents the dense network of local roads and water bodies, including Pachaug Pond and the winding Ashwillet Brook, that have defined this corner of New London County for centuries.
