About this map

Pocotopaug Lake and the village of East Hampton anchor the northwestern corner of this mid-1940s landscape, where the Salmon River carves a path through a dense network of streams and ponds. The map captures a moment when the regional economy was tied to the river valleys, as seen in the cluster of mills and settlements at Leesville and Moodus. The intricate drainage of the Mottey Brook and Babcock Swamp systems, alongside the expansive Moodus Reservoir, highlights the region's managed water resources during this period of post-war Connecticut history.
