2018 Map of Torrington

About this map

The city of Torrington serves as the industrial and social heart of this 2018 survey, centered on the confluence of the Still River and the Naugatuck River. The landscape reflects a well-developed network of hills and water bodies typical of Litchfield County, where terrain features like Walnut Mtn and Cotton Hill dictated the historical placement of roads such as the Litchfield Tpke. Evidence of long-standing community heritage is found in the dense concentration of cemeteries, from the Sons of Jacob Cem in the north to the family-named Scoville Cem and South Cem near the town of Harwinton. The presence of several distinct church and burial sites suggests a collection of close-knit villages, including Bakersville and Burrville, that have maintained their identity even as the larger urban centers expanded around them.
