About this map

Marlborough and the surrounding rural landscapes of central Connecticut are defined by a network of hills and small river valleys. The town center at Four Corners sits just south of Lake Terramuggus, while smaller settlements like Gilead, Mannantuck, and Hope Valley are scattered among the ridges. This terrain is marked by several prominent summits, including John Tom Hill, where the Glastonbury Fire Tower stands as a landmark, and Birch Mountain to the north.

For local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with respect to early burial sites, including the Old Marlborough Cem, Gilead Cem, and the family-named Townsend Cem and Burrows Hill Cem. The drainage patterns of the Blackledge River and Fawn Brook illustrate the historical water resources that once powered local industry, while modern landmarks like the Buckingham Reservoir and Diamond Lake highlight the area's continued reliance on its watersheds.
