About this map

The Housatonic River forms a natural eastern boundary in this region of Fairfield County, where the transition from colonial-era settlements to modern residential centers is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by its significant water infrastructure, featuring major basins such as Trap Falls Reservoir, Isinglass Reservoir, and Means Brook Reservoir. These bodies of water are surrounded by a network of hills, including Barn Hill, Booth Hill, and Tashua Hill, which have long shaped the local topography and road development.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across several major cemeteries, from the large Gate of Heaven Cem to the smaller Walker Farm Cem and Lower White Hills Cem. The map highlights the distinct character of neighborhoods like Huntington, East Village, and Monroe, revealing how historical crossroads grew into the modern communities of Shelton and Trumbull. Local landmarks like Saint Pauls Cem and Saint Johnthe Baptist Greek Catholic Cem reflect the area's diverse religious and cultural history.
