About this map

Sandisfield State Forest and its neighbors, Algonquin State Forest and Tolland State Forest, dominate this landscape along the border of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The 1987 survey details a high-elevation environment of ridges and swamps, where the Farmington River flows south through the valley between Hanging Mountain and Babbitt Mountain. Small hamlets and named crossroads like Roosterville and McClaveville are scattered across the terrain, linked by routes such as West New Boston Sandisfield Road and Beech Plain Road. This era shows the region as a recreational and conservation corridor, characterized by numerous ponds like Windemere Lake and Thousand Acre Lake, alongside institutional landmarks including the YMCA Camp and Katherine School. Genealogists may find interest in the documented burial grounds, including Montville Cem and Roberts Cem, which anchor these small communities to their 18th and 19th-century origins.
