2012 Map of Scotland

About this map

The Shetucket River and the Little River anchor this rural landscape in Windham County, where numerous small waterways like Merrick Brook and Deane Brook carve through the glacial terrain of eastern Connecticut. The settlement of Scotland sits at the geographic center, while the village of Hanover occupies the southern reach along the riverbanks near the Hanover Reservoir and Papermill Pond. This area is dense with family and community history, evidenced by a high concentration of burial grounds including Scotland Cem, Westminster Cem, and the Bradford Cem. The road network is a mix of old turnpikes and local routes like New Brooklyn Tpke and Old Canterbury Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and small centers. Preservation efforts are visible at the Kinne Preserve, while the historical footprint of industry and crossing points remains at Church Bridge and the Old Stone Mill Brook.
