About this map

The Blackberry River flows through a landscape defined by steep wooded slopes and early recreational camps in this mid-century survey of the Litchfield hills. The settlement of Norfolk sits at the northern crossroads, while small hamlets like South Norfolk and Grantville dot the valleys to the south. Land use here is a mix of protected conservation areas and summer retreats, evidenced by Haystack Mtn State Park and Camp Wahnee.

Hydrological features are prominent, from the large expanse of Lake Winchester to the winding Hall Meadow Brook and Mad River. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of several family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including the Grantville Cem and Danbury Quarter Cem. The transition toward modern infrastructure is noted through purple photorevision updates, which highlight new structures and highway changes along routes like Danbury Quarter Road.
