About this map

Lake Waramaug serves as a centerpiece for this region of Litchfield County, where the glacial landscape is defined by the Shepaug River and Bantam River valleys. The terrain is marked by numerous summits, including Mount Tom and Mount Prospect, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Sackett Hill Rd and Tanner Hill Rd. High-elevation settlements such as Warren and Above All overlook the water bodies, while agricultural and recreational land use is evident at Hopkins Vineyard and the Washington Golf Course.

The southern portion of the map centers on the sister communities of Washington and Washington Depot. These settlements, along with Woodville and Romford, highlight the historic development patterns along the riverbanks. Local history is preserved in sites like Romford Cem and Judea Cem, while the inclusion of the Long View Landing Airport notes the modern transportation infrastructure integrated into this classic Connecticut landscape.
