2018 Map of Moodus

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep valley through the center of this southeastern Connecticut landscape, acting as a historical boundary for the settlements of Leesville, Westchester, and Moodus. The topography is defined by significant ridges and water bodies, with the Moodus Reservoir and Moodus River anchoring the southern portion of the sheet. Notable landmarks like the Old Comstock Bridge span the river, while the presence of numerous burying grounds, such as Saint Bridgets Cem and Ponemah Cem, point to the area’s long-standing community centers. To the west, the village of East Hampton sits near the edge of Pocotopaug Lake, while the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge preserves the riverine environment near Cave Hill. The intersection of multiple county lines including Hartford, Tolland, New London, and Middlesex highlights the region's complex administrative history.
