1953 Map of Voluntown

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Voluntown and the village of Rockville anchor this mid-century survey of the rugged, pond-dotted borderlands between Connecticut and Rhode Island. The landscape is defined by the massive tracts of the Pachaug State Forest, where early industrial sites like Sawmill Pond and Doaneville Pond sit alongside natural landmarks such as Mt Misery and the Pachaug River. Genealogists will find the Kennedy Cem and other small burial grounds, while the topography reveals a transition from these wooded heights down to the many water bodies that powered local mills, including Beach Pond and Wincheck Pond. The presence of the Fish Hatchery and numerous named brooks like Green Fall River illustrates the area's ongoing importance as a managed watershed and recreational resource during this era of post-war development.
