About this map

The Salmon River flows through this corner of New London and Middlesex Counties, shaping the development of settlements like Leesville and North Westchester. The landscape is defined by its diverse water features, from the large Pocotopaug Lake and Pickerel Lake to the intricate network of Jeremy River and Blackledge River. This survey reveals the transition between these water-driven hamlets and the surrounding hills, including Baker Hill and Bull Hill.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, such as Saint Bridgets Cem, Moodus Cem, and the Westchester Cemetery. Local aviation history is represented by Rankl Field Airport and the Salmon River Airfield, while the Old Comstock Bridge stands as a landmark of the area's physical infrastructure. The region's mid-century recreational character is also visible through locations like the Hartford County 4-H Camp and Banner Golf Course.
