About this map

Bantam Lake serves as the geographic heart of this Litchfield County survey, its shoreline dotted with recreational landmarks like Litchfield Town Beach, Sandy Beach, and Morris Town Beach. The map details a classic New England landscape where established villages such as Litchfield, Morris, and Bethlehem are connected by a network of historic roads and family-named hills like Schermerhorn Hill and Wheeler Hill. The rural character of the region is punctuated by numerous small cemeteries, including Old Bethlehem Cem and Lakeside Cem, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research.

Water management and local aviation also leave their mark on the terrain. To the east, the Pitch Reservoir and Morris Reservoir indicate significant water infrastructure, while the Whelan Farms Airport sits just south of East Morris. The survey captures the transition from these high-elevation reservoirs and hills like French Mtn down to the winding Weekeepeemee River in the southwest, reflecting the area's complex drainage and settled valleys.
