About this map

The Massachusetts and Connecticut borderland is defined here by the massive water management infrastructure of the Cobble Mountain Reservoir and the northern reaches of the Barkhamsted Reservoir. This 1990s landscape showcases the rural character of Southwick and Granville, where residential clusters like Baird Four Corners and Gillett Corner are interspersed with large tracts of public land including Granville State Forest and Tunxis State Forest.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the numerous burial sites, from the Southwick Ancient Burial Grounds to the South Quarter Cem. The map also captures the topography of the Berkshire foothills, featuring prominent heights like Sweetman Mountain and Sodom Mountain, alongside early industrial traces such as Quarry and Gravel Pits sites that reflect the area's geological utility. The inclusion of the Honey Pot National Historical Area provides further depth to the documented heritage of this river-carved region.
