2012 Map of Thompson

About this map

Marianopolis College and the surrounding hilltop community of Thompson serve as the western anchors for this landscape near the Connecticut-Rhode Island state line. The terrain is defined by the Fivemile River valley and significant reservoirs, including Bowdish Reservoir and the central Quaddick Lake Seaplane Base. This 2012 survey illustrates a mix of traditional New England settlement patterns and modern recreational uses, such as the Thompson Raceway and Raceway Golf Course. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including Munyan Cem, Putnam Heights Cem, and Harrington Cem. Smaller hamlets like East Putnam and Ballouville are connected by a network of local roads that navigate around numerous ledges and hills like Benson Mountain and Quaddick Mountain.
