2018 Map of Southbury

About this map

The Housatonic River and the expansive Lake Zoar anchor the southern portion of this region, where the New Haven and Fairfield County line meets. Near the dam at Stevenson, the landscape transitions from the river valley to the clustered settlements of Southbury and Heritage Village. The map reveals a high density of ancestral sites for genealogists, including Pine Hill Cem, Middleground Cem, and Brookside Cem. Industrial and community history is evident in names like Papermill Pond and the Waterbury-Oxford Airport on the eastern plateau. The terrain is defined by numerous family-named peaks such as Georges Hill, Ichabod Hill, and Osborn Hill, while the Pomperaug River and Eightmile Brook provide the primary drainage for the northern hills. Smaller communities like Southford, Quaker Farms, and South Britain are well-delineated among the complex network of brooks and reservoirs.
