2015 Map of Southbury

About this map

The Housatonic River carves a deep valley through this portion of Connecticut, forming the centerpiece of the landscape as Lake Zoar. The transition from industrial corridors to planned residential developments is evident in the layout of Heritage Village and the proximity of the Waterbury-Oxford Airport to established settlements. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including Middleground Cem, Brookside Cem, and Hillside Cem, which are tucked between the region's many named peaks like Mt Pisgah and Georges Hill. The network of numbered brooks, from Fivemile Brook to Eightmile Brook, illustrates the historical drainage patterns that once powered local industry, such as the site near Papermill Pond. This map captures the area as modern infrastructure and suburban growth meet the enduring geography of the Naugatuck Valley region.
