About this map

Mc Lean Game Refuge and the rugged Barn Door Hills anchor this mid-century portrait of north-central Connecticut. The Farmington River winds through the southeast corner near the village of Tariffville, where the terrain drops sharply at The Notch and Manitook Mountain. This landscape is defined by the transition from upland ridges like Broad Hill and The Hedgehog to the fertile lowlands of Terrys Plain and the Great Marsh.

Settlement patterns show a network of small villages and crossroads, including Granby, North Granby, and Hoskins, linked by historic routes like Newgate Road. Genealogists will find several notable burial grounds such as the Baptist Cem and Pratt Cem, along with the Swedish Pilgrim Ch and Copper Hill Ch. The presence of Granby Station and the Simsbury Airport reflects the evolution of transportation in the Simsbury and Granby area during the mid-20th century.
