1956 Map of New Hartford

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Barkhamsted Reservoir dominates the Litchfield and Hartford county border, its deep waters held by the Saville Dam and flanked by the expansive Peoples State Forest and Tunxis State Forest. The settlement patterns here reveal a transition from early upland villages like Barkhamsted Center and East Hartland to the industrialized valley corridor where the Farmington River flows through New Hartford and Pine Meadow. Evidence of mid-century recreation and land use appears in the Drive-in Theater near the Compensating Reservoir and the network of roads such as Washington Hill Road. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including the Barkhamsted Cem and Riverside Cem, alongside landmarks like the Washington Hill Ch and the curious Indian Council Caves.
