About this map

The Salmon River and Blackledge River converge in this southeastern Connecticut landscape, where the colonial-era heritage of the region is visible through its dense network of named cemeteries and water-powered landmarks. The historic Old Comstock Bridge spans the waters near where Dickinson Cr meets the Salmon, serving as a focal point between the settlements of East Hampton and Westchester. To the south, the village of Moodus is surrounded by family and community grounds including Moodus Cem, Saint Bridgets Cem, and Basin Hill Cem.

The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Bull Hill and Baker Hill, with the local economy and recreation tied to water bodies such as Pickerel Lake, Day Pond, and the expansive Pocotopaug Lake in the northwest. Aviation history is represented by the Salmon River Airfield located near Rankl Field, while state-managed lands at Day Pond State Park preserve the wooded character of the Hartford CO and New London CO borderlands.
