1984 Map of Jewett City

About this map

Jewett City serves as a focal point in the upper western corner of this map, where the Quinebaug River meets the Pachaug River. The landscape is a mosaic of water and wood, dominated by the expansive Pachaug Pond and the surrounding reaches of the Pachaug State Forest. The presence of numerous sand and gravel pits scattered through the terrain suggests a mid-century economy tied to local mineral resources. To the south, smaller agricultural and residential clusters like Preston City and Glasgo are connected by a network of rural roads such as Sheep Barn Rd. This area is characterized by several distinct peaks including Bay Mtn and Lambert Mtn, which define the drainage basins for Miller Brook and Ashwillet Brook. Local history is preserved in small family and parish sites like Reid Cem and Geer Cem, alongside the industrial legacy found at Clayville and Doaneville.
