2012 Map of Palmertown

About this map

Chesterfield and Oakdale anchor this landscape in southeastern Connecticut, where the geography is defined by a dense network of glacial hills and small water bodies. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named summits such as Raymond Hill, Lynch Hill, and Mahoneys Hill, interspersed with historic burying grounds including the Chesterfield Cem and Saint Johns Cem. The region's hydrologic history is evident in the variety of impoundments and streams, from the large Stony Brook Reservoir and Oxoboxo Lake to smaller sites like Red Mill Pond and Scholfield Pond. This pattern of scattered settlements and small-scale water management suggests a transition from earlier industrial uses to a more residential and recreational character, with landmarks like the Cedar Ridge Golf Course and Camp Waterford occupying the gaps between established town centers like Palmertown and Montville Center.
