About this map

Sterling and Oneco anchor this borderland survey, where the Moosup River valley carves through the undulating hills of eastern Connecticut and western Rhode Island. The landscape is defined by its abundance of water features and sprawling wetlands, including the expansive Cedar Swamp and Douglas Swamp. These natural barriers historically influenced the placement of early settlements and travel routes, leaving behind a network of quiet roads like Old American Schoolhouse Rd and Whip Poor Will Rd.

Family history is preserved in several small burial grounds, such as Gallups Cem and Riverside Cem. The boundary line between the states runs north-to-south, bisecting the drainage of Quanduck Brook and Vaughn Brook. Smaller clusters like Rice City and Hopkins Hollow appear as traditional rural centers amidst the hills, while the Riconn Airport provides a modern navigational landmark in this corner of the Quinebaug Valley region.
