About this map

Newtown and the surrounding villages of Sandy Hook and Hawleyville are situated at a significant crossroads of Fairfield County's transportation corridors. The 2021 landscape is defined by the convergence of major routes including I-84, Us HWY 6, and the Housatonic RR, reflecting the region's enduring role as a hub for transit and commerce. To the north, the Housatonic River and the expansive Lake Lillinonah carve through the terrain, separated from the residential centers by a series of prominent elevations like Mt Pleasant and Barnabas Hill.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several established burial grounds, such as Newtown Village Cem and the Lands End Cem, which serve as anchors for the area's long-standing communities. The map also captures several distinct residential enclaves, including Russian Village and Oakdale Manor, alongside recreational landmarks like Pootatuck Park. Small water bodies like Taunton Pond and Curtis Pond are interspersed throughout the wooded hills, feeding the networks of the Pootatuck River and Deep Brook.
