About this map

Salmon River and the Blackledge River converge in this corner of southeastern Connecticut, a landscape defined by its complex waterway network and historical transit routes. The Airline Trl cuts across the northern terrain, following the path of the old Air Line Railroad, while the Old Comstock Bridge stands as a significant landmark over the water. This 2021 update shows the enduring rural character of settlements like Moodus, Bashan, and Westchester, which remain centered around their local water bodies and cemeteries.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds including Saint Bridgets Cem and the Bashan Lake Cem. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge, preserving the area's wooded character around the Moodus Reservoir and Babcock Swamp. From the shores of Pocotopaug Lake to the heights of Bull Hill, the map reflects a region where colonial-era settlement patterns and modern conservation efforts overlap.
