About this map

Barkhamsted Reservoir dominates the center of this Litchfield and Hartford County landscape, held in check by the Saville Dam. The reservoir marks a transformed valley where the East Branch of the Farmington River once flowed freely, now surrounded by the protected woodlands of Peoples State Forest and Tunxis State Forest. Small settlements and family enclaves are scattered throughout the hills, including Barkhamsted Center, East Hartland, and Pleasant Valley. Genealogists will find several historic burial grounds preserved near these communities, such as Barkhamsted Cem and the North Canton Cem. The topography is defined by significant rises like Pine Mtn and Ratlum Mountain, while the southern reaches of the map show the concentrated development of New Hartford and Pine Meadow along the river banks.
