About this map

Sandisfield and its surrounding hamlets define this borderland where the Berkshire hills meet Litchfield County. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of water bodies and reservoirs, including the Thousand Acre Swamp Reservoir, Windemere Lake Reservoir, and the prominent Doolittle Lake to the south. Small settlements like Southfield and Montville are connected by a network of winding roads such as Sandisfield Rd and New Marlborough Sandisfield Center Rd, reflecting a settlement pattern that follows the complex topography of Woodruff Mtn and Haystack Mtn.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds across the terrain, from Montville Cem in the northeast to Saint Marys Cem near West Norfolk. The drainage of the Umpachene River and Sandy Brook underscores the importance of water resources in this region. This modern survey provides an exact look at the contemporary state of these New England towns, preserving the locations of legacy sites like the Palmer Cem and Huxley Cem amidst the protected waters of Mill Pond and East Indies Pond.
