2015 Map of Putnam

About this map

The Quinebaug River and French River corridors define the landscape of northeastern Connecticut in this 2015 study, anchoring the industrial and civic development of Putnam and North Grosvenor Dale. The map reveals a dense network of early settlements and rural infrastructure, from the historic clusters at Woodstock and Pomfret to the water-managed features like the Cargill Falls Reservoir and the expansive W Thompson Lake. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including Swiss Cem, Quasset Cem, and the Carpenter-Dresser Cem. The inclusion of the Woodstock Airport and Roseland Park highlights the evolution of the region into a mix of small-town residential life, light industry, and preserved open space, maintaining the character of these historic mill-and-farm communities.
