2018 Map of Southington

About this map

Southington Mtn dominates the central geography of this region, separating the industrial and residential developments of Plantsville and Milldale from the suburban stretches of Wolcott to the west. The landscape is defined by its transition from the valley floor of the Quinnipiac River to higher elevations such as Peck Mtn and Bluff Head. This 2018 survey reveals a high density of historical burial sites, including the Merriman Burying Ground and Northeast Burial Ground, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research in Hartford and New Haven counties. Significant water management is evident through the series of reservoirs, notably Scoville Reservoir and the Southington Reservoir Number 2, which are integrated into the varied terrain of hills like Tame Buck Hill and Lindsley Hill.
