2024 Map of New Hartford

About this map

The Barkhamsted Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this Litchfield County quadrangle, a massive water body that reshaped the region's topography and settlement patterns. To the south, the village of New Hartford and New Hartford Center serve as focal points for local history, featuring several significant burial sites including Village Cem and Pine Grove Cem. The geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Pine Mtn and Ratlum Mtn, with the protected woodlands of Peoples Forest and the Northwest Hills Planning Region preserving the area's natural character. Along the western edge, the West Branch Farmington Wild and Scenic River flows past Pleasant Valley, where the Riverside Cem remains a notable landmark for genealogists. The map also captures the eastern extent of the area near North Canton, showing the transition from steep ridges like West Ledge to the valley of Cherry Brook.
