2018 Map of Scotland

About this map

Scotland and the surrounding village of Hanover are defined by the convergence of several major water systems, most notably the Shetucket River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is marked by a series of prominent rises including Pudding Hill and Parish Hill, while the Hanover Reservoir serves as a central hydrological feature. The concentration of family and community history is evident in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as Old Scotland Cem and the Raymond Cem near Wright Pond. This map shows a region where the traditional rural settlement patterns of Windham County remain clearly legible. Local landmarks like Church Bridge and the winding course of Merrick Brook illustrate how the community developed around its water resources, while the presence of the Old Stone Mill Brook hints at the area's historical industrial reliance on these small, powerful streams.
