About this map

The Shepaug River carves a central path through this Litchfield County landscape, anchoring a series of historic settlements including Roxbury, Roxbury Station, and Roxbury Falls. The topography is defined by significant rises such as Steep Rock and Horse Heaven, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle meet the waters of Lake Lillinonah. This 2015 survey provides clear documentation of the area's rural character, showing the distribution of local heritage sites like Center Cem and the Old Leavonworth Cem.

Industrial and aeronautical history is visible through landmarks such as Mine Hill and the Good Hill Farm Airport. The map traces numerous watercourses, from Moosehorn Brook to Sprain Brook, that once supported local milling and agriculture. For genealogists and local historians, the detailed road network—including Old Turnpike RD E—illustrates the long-standing connections between the scattered hamlets of Paquabaug and Bridgewater.
