About this map

Torrington serves as the industrial and civic heart of this Litchfield County region, situated at the confluence of the Still River and the Naugatuck River. The map reveals a dense network of neighborhoods and historic institutions, including the Litchfield County Court House and several significant burial grounds such as Sons of Jacob Cem and New Saint Francis Cem. The landscape to the east and south transitions into the more rural character of Harwinton and Northwest Harwinton, where the terrain is defined by prominent rises like Hayden Hill and Cotton Hill.

The transportation infrastructure is dominated by the Litchfield Tpke and several local routes connecting outlying settlements like Burrville, Torringford, and Bakersville. This contemporary survey illustrates the persistent importance of water resources, from the expansive Burr Pond and West Hill Pond in the north to the Nepaug Brook drainage in the east. The presence of numerous family and community cemeteries, including Old Cem, North Cem, and Scoville Cem, provides a detailed record of the area's long-standing residential history.
