About this map

Tariffville and the Farmington River valley define the eastern edge of this terrain, where the river cuts through the dramatic rise of Metacomet Ridge. This area shows a complex network of established settlements, from the residential clusters of Granby and Simsbury to smaller communities like West Granby, Firetown, and Hungary. The landscape is deeply marked by its glacial and geological history, featuring prominent heights like Manitook Mtn, Barndoor Hills, and The Sugarloaf.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites including Cooley Cem, Pratt Cem, and Saint Andrews Cem. The map captures the interface between suburban development and preserved land, evidenced by the New England National Scenic Trail winding across the ridges. Local infrastructure is represented by the Simsbury Airport and numerous water bodies such as Manitook Lake and Bissell Brook, illustrating how the valley's drainage patterns have influenced the placement of early centers like Hoskins and Floydville.
