2012 Map of Putnam

About this map

The Quinebaug River and French River converge in this corner of northeastern Connecticut, shaping a landscape defined by its historic village centers and water-managed valleys. Putnam serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a constellation of smaller settlements including Harrisville, Grosvenor Dale, and Mechanicsville. The creation of West Thompson Lake illustrates mid-century water management, while the surrounding hills—such as Hospital Hill and Bates Hill—are dotted with numerous final resting places like the Old Killingly Burial Ground and Aspinwall Cem.
