2018 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

Mt Sanford and the surrounding peaks of West Rock Ridge dominate the central landscape of this Connecticut survey, illustrating the rugged geography between the Naugatuck and Quinnipiac River valleys. The drainage patterns of the Mill River and its various tributaries, such as Shepard Brook and Willow Brook, dictate the positioning of residential growth in Hamden and Cheshire. Significant institutional and historic footprints are visible, including the campus of Quinnipiac Univ and the Central Burying Grounds. Water management is a primary feature of the region, evidenced by the large footprints of Lake Bethany, Lake Watrous, and the Farm Brook Reservoir. The map also captures several traditional crossroads settlements and corners, such as Ives Corner and Richards Corner, alongside several well-established burial sites like Hillside Cem and New Saint Bridget Cem.
