About this map

The Quinebaug River and Pachaug R define the industrial and recreational heart of this eastern Connecticut landscape. In the northwest, Jewett City serves as a dense hub of settlement where the Providence and Worcester railroad corridor meets the river's edge. This 1984 survey highlights the region's transition from historical mill hamlets to modern utility, showing numerous Sand and Gravel Pits and the expansion of the Pachaug State Forest.

Tracing the waterways eastward, the map documents the string of impoundments that shaped local life, from Ashland Pond to the expansive Pachaug Pond. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the townships, including Geer Cem and Rixtown Cem, while rural centers like Glasgo and Preston City maintain their distinct layouts. Landmark features such as Spy Rock and the Lakeside Airport provide additional navigation points across this woodsy, water-laced terrain.
