About this map

Marlborough and Gilead anchor this 1967 portrait of a Connecticut landscape defined by the transition between early rural foundations and late-century state forest management. The survey documents a territory punctuated by hilltop cemeteries and small-scale industry, such as the Sand and Gravel Pit near John Tom Hill. The terrain is deeply wooded, with the Meshomasic State Forest and Gay City State Park preserving large tracts of the upland character.

Water systems like the Blackledge River and Lake Terramuggus are central to the geography, while smaller features like Mary Hall Sch and the Old Marlborough Cem provide precise touchpoints for genealogists. The road network, including the New Haven and Hartford Road, follows established routes through the Salmon River State Forest, showing how the era's infrastructure worked around the significant local topography of Birch Mountain and Burnt Hill.
