About this map

Lake Candlewood dominates the central landscape of this western Connecticut region, with its intricate shoreline forming numerous points and coves including Atchison Cove and Turners Point. To the east, the Housatonic River and the Housatonic Railroad follow the valley floor, passing through the historic centers of Lanesville and Wellsville. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Boardman Mountain and Candlewood Mountain, which overlook the expansive waters and the surrounding agricultural and residential settlements.

Evidence of early community life is found in the distribution of family and congregational burial sites, from the Gallows Hill Burying Ground to the Quaker Cem. The map highlights the recreational and institutional character of the area, noting several summer camps like Camp Mauwehu and Camp Ludington, alongside local aviation history at the Candlelight Farms Airport. Smaller hamlets like Sherman and Park Lane serve as anchors within this complex network of brooks and ridges.
