About this map

Salisbury and Sharon anchor the high country of the Northwest Hills, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across ridges like Wetauwanchu Mtn and Mt Prospect. This 2015 survey reveals a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology, from the large expanse of Wononskopomuc Lake near Lakeville to the recreational focus of Mudge Pond Town Beach. The map details the transition from the village centers to the more isolated upland hollows and peaks.

Industrial history is subtly present in place names like Lime Rock and Ore Hill Pond, reflecting the region's long association with iron production. Small settlements such as Amesville and Sharon Valley are interspersed with numerous smaller water bodies, including Beardsley Pond and Lake Tavolan. The rugged terrain is evidenced by the density of named summits, including Thorpe Mtn and Gallows Hill, which overlook the complex drainage of Salmon Cr and the Salmon Kill.
