2012 Map of Thomaston

About this map

The Naugatuck River valley anchors this study of the Litchfield Hills region, where industrial heritage and water management define the landscape. The town of Thomaston and neighboring Plymouth serve as the primary population centers, flanked by a complex system of water resources including the Bristol Reservoir Number Four and Plymouth Reservoir. This 2012 topography shows a transition from the dense street grids of the valley floor to the prominent heights of Hickory Hill and Mount Tobe. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, such as Hillside Cem and Saint Marys Cem, while the southern reaches of the map reflect the area's recreational character through Camp Mattatuck and the Waterbury Airport. The convergence of Pequabuck River and local brooks illustrates the historical reliance on water power that shaped these Connecticut mill towns.
