Lake Candlewood dominates this Litchfield and Fairfield County landscape, where the waters of the Housatonic River and Still River meet. The terrain is marked by numerous peaks and ridges named for local families and landmarks, such as Boardman Mtn, Stillson Hill, and Towner Hill. The presence of The Lime Kiln and the Candlelight Farms Airport speaks to the industrial and logistical history of the region. Near the modern center of New Milford, historical sites like the Lovers Leap Bridge and the Gallows Hill Burying Ground reflect the deep-rooted settlement patterns of western Connecticut. This map documents a complex shoreline of inlets and points, including New Milford Bay and Shelter Harbor, alongside established lakeside communities like Candlewood Springs and Birch Groves.
