About this map

The Quinebaug River and its tributary, the French River, anchor this detailed look at Windham County, where industrial history meets a landscape of preserved public spaces. The city of Putnam serves as a central hub, featuring the Putnam Courthouse and the historic Old Killingly Burial Ground. Surrounding settlements like North Grosvenor Dale and Mechanicsville reveal the region's textile and manufacturing legacy along the river banks, while the West Thompson Lake area provides a significant modern flood control landmark.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Swiss Cem, Upham Cem, and the Carpenter Dresser Cem. The map also traces the recreational and transport routes that define the area today, from the Airline Trl rail-trail to the expansive Roseland Park on the shores of Roseland Lake. The terrain is marked by numerous hills like Chandler Hill and Bartholomew Hill, illustrating the classic New England upland geography.
