2015 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

Mansfield Hollow Lake and the Natchaug River valley dominate the southern landscape of this 2015 study, illustrating the complex hydrology of northeastern Connecticut. The area is defined by a high concentration of small, historic burial grounds that speak to its deep-rooted colonial settlement, including Hillside Cem, Wormwood Hill Cem, and the uniquely named Bedlam Cem near Bedlam Corner. Moving north from Mansfield Center, the terrain transitions into a series of distinctive ridges like Wormwood Hill and Pumpkin Hill, separated by numerous tributaries such as the Mount Hope River and Fenton River. Small residential clusters like Gurleyville, Mount Hope, and Atwoodville are linked by a network of historic thoroughfares, including the Tolland Tpke and Boston Tpke. The map also captures the wooded character of the region, featuring landmarks like Wolf Rock and the extensive waters of Mansfield Hollow.
