About this map

Southington and the surrounding valley communities are defined by the Quinnipiac River and a complex network of reservoirs and brooks. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from industrial clusters like Milldale and Plantsville to the higher terrain of Southington Mountain and Wolf Hill. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, identifying numerous burial sites such as the Olde Burying Ground, Northeast Burying Ground, and Wonx Spring Cem.

Modern infrastructure and recreation are prominent, from the I-84 and I-691 interchange to the Mount Southington Ski Area and Cheshire Golf Course. Smaller residential settlements such as Mixville, West Cheshire, and Marion are shown in detail, alongside landmarks like the Manson Youth Institution and Smith Elementary School. The landscape is interspersed with significant water bodies like the Scoville Reservoir and New Britain Reservoir, which provide a clear picture of the region's managed water resources in the early 21st century.
