About this map

Lake Zoar and the Housatonic River dominate the northern landscape of this Connecticut region, where several distinct communities are clustered along the riverbanks and intersecting roadways. The area includes the historic settlements of Sandy Hook, Hawleyville, and Dodgingtown, each showing a layout shaped by the undulating terrain of peaks like Taunton Hill and Mount Pleasant. Significant local landmarks such as the Stanley Simon Bridge and the Twin Bridges Picnic Area highlight the recreational and infrastructure developments of the early 21st century.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous burial sites, including Saint Roses Cem, Taunton Cem, and Newtown Village Cem. The map provides a detailed view of smaller enclaves like Russian Village and Oakdale Manor near the Pomperaug River confluence. These settlements are linked by a dense network of local roads and water features, from Wewaka Brook to the winding Pootatuck River, which together define the residential and natural character of the township.
