2021 Map of New Hartford

About this map

Barkhamsted Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this Litchfield and Hartford County region, serving as a massive hydraulic centerpiece for the surrounding valley. The reservoir and nearby Lake Mc Donough represent significant mid-century water management infrastructure, overseen by the Metropolitan District. To the west, the West Branch Farmington River winds through Pleasant Valley, where historical cemeteries like Riverside Cem sit near the riverbanks. The settlement pattern shows a concentration of local activity at New Hartford and Pine Meadow in the south, while higher elevations like Ratlum Mtn and Pine Mtn define the upland terrain. Local historians can trace the network of forest trails such as the Peoples Forest Trl and Elliot Bronson Trl that navigate the ridges between the reservoir and the river valley.
