About this map

Barkhamsted Reservoir dominates the central corridor of this Litchfield County landscape, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the area into a critical water resource for the region. The map captures the engineering of the Saville Dam and the Richards Corner Dam, which created the Compensating Reservoir to manage the flow of the Farmington River. This utility-driven development is juxtaposed with the preservation of massive tracts of public land, including Peoples State Forest and Tunxis State Forest, which cover the surrounding ridgelines like Ratlum Mountain and Ragged Mtn.
