1946 Map of Stafford Springs

Beyond the industrial corridor, the terrain rises into prominent ridges like Buff Cap Hill and Crow Hill, separating the river valley from the residential developments near Crystal Lake. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the record, including the Old Stafford Street Cemetery and the St Edward Cemetery. The southern reaches transition into more agricultural land around West Willington and Willington Hill, with the Skungamaug River winding through the lowlands of Ellington.
