2018 Map of Kent

About this map

The Housatonic River carves through this Litchfield County landscape, anchoring a corridor of historical settlements from Kent and Kent Furnace south to Gaylordsville and Merwinsville. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by high summits like Bromica Mtn and Fuller Mtn, alongside significant water bodies including North Spectacle Pond and a portion of Lake Waramaug. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites across the township, such as Gaylordsville Cem and the Upper Merryall Cem, while hikers can trace the winding path of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it crosses the river near Fuller Bridge. The map also captures several distinctive local landmarks, from the geological interest of Glacier Rock and Grand Staircase to the industrial history implied by Ore Hill, reflecting the region’s long-standing connection to both its natural resources and its preserved backcountry.
