About this map

The Housatonic River carves a deep valley through this western Connecticut landscape, passing the primary settlement at Kent and the historic industrial site of Kent Furnace. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the high ground to the west, traversing peaks like Fuller Mtn and Mt Algo before crossing the river near Fuller Bridge. The terrain is defined by numerous high ridges and glacial features, including The Cobble and Glacier Rock.

Away from the river corridor, the landscape is dotted with smaller upland communities such as Flanders, East Kent, and South Kent. Water bodies like North Spectacle Pond and South Spectacle Pond sit high in the hills, while the eastern edge of the map reaches the shores of Lake Waramaug. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Good Hill Cem and the West Meetinghouse Cem, provide essential data points for local genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Litchfield County.
