2021 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

The Fenton River and Mount Hope River converge toward the Mansfield Hollow Lake reservoir, defining a landscape of eastern Connecticut hills and valleys. This 2021 update shows the modern footprint of the University of Connecticut campus on the western edge, while preserving the spatial data of early settlement nodes like Mansfield Center and Mansfield Hollow. Genealogy researchers will find numerous burial grounds including the Olde Mansfield Center Cem, Snow Cem, and the Saint Philip Cem near Warrenville. Small hamlets like Gurleyville, Chaffeeville, and Atwoodville follow the river corridors, illustrating how the region's topography dictated its historical development. The map also documents the extensive wetland areas such as Cedar Swamp and Wild Life Marsh Reservoir, which sit alongside distinctive elevations like Wormwood Hill and Pumpkin Hill.
