1939 Map of Montville

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Oxoboxo Brook and its system of industrial reservoirs define the landscape of eastern New London County in this mid-century survey. The waterway powers a string of mill ponds including Rockland Pond and Red Mill Pond as it descends toward the Central Vermont railroad line and the village of Montville. This era reveals a region where traditional water-powered industry meets early aviation at the Salem Airport and rural community hubs like the Chapel Hill Sch and Lakes Pond Ch. Settlement patterns are closely tied to the hills and hollows, with family-named landmarks like Dolbeare Hill and Raymond Hill overlooking the many water bodies that sustained the local economy, from the large Lake Konomoc to the secluded Fairy Lake. Local transit is centered on historic corridors such as Butlertown Road and Pilgrim Road, connecting scattered hamlets like Chesterfield and Oakdale.
