About this map

The West Branch Farmington River carves a deep valley through the center of this landscape, separating the forested uplands of the Sandisfield State Forest from the Tolland State Forest. The mid-century topography reflects a region defined by its timber and river-driven history, with small clusters of development at New Boston and Roosterville. Local educational and social life is marked by the Sandisfield Sch and recreational sites like Camp Jewell near Lake Triangle.

Genealogists can identify established burial grounds such as the Colebrook River Cem and the Robert Cem tucked away near Buli Mtn. The map reveals the intersection of state boundaries between Massachusetts and Connecticut, showing how roads like New Boston Road and Street connected the hamlets of North Colebrook and Tolland Center before modern expansion altered the rural character of these hill towns.
