2018 Map of Newtown

About this map

Lake Lillinonah dominates the central landscape of this western Connecticut region, where the Housatonic River meets the Pootatuck River. The map captures a sophisticated network of residential and commercial settlements including Newtown, Sandy Hook, and South Britain, reflecting centuries of development along the river valleys and upland ridges. Genealogists can locate numerous local burying grounds such as Newtown Village Cem and Saint Roses Cem, while the unique cultural pocket of Russian Village sits near the river's edge. The terrain is defined by named rises like Taunton Hill and Sunset Hill, with several small water bodies including Taunton Pond and Curtis Pond punctuating the hills. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and the geographic boundaries where Fairfield, Litchfield, and New Haven counties meet.
