2018 Map of Marlborough

About this map

Marlborough and the surrounding highlands of the Hartford and Tolland borderlands are defined by a complex network of brooks and ridges. The village of Gilead sits centrally, anchored by the Gilead Cem, while the landscape is dotted with other family and community burial grounds such as Gay Cem and John Tom Hill Cem. This area, characteristic of eastern Connecticut's uplands, features several prominent summits including Birch Mtn, New Boston Hill, and Burrows Hill. Waterways like the Blackledge River and Dickinson Creek wind through the terrain, while larger basins like Diamond Lake and Lake Terramuggus provide significant local landmarks. The distribution of small settlements like Terramuggus and Hope Valley reflects the historical development patterns of this region, where community centers evolved around specific hills and water resources.
