2001 Map of Voluntown

About this map

Pachaug State Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Connecticut and Rhode Island, preserving a dense network of wetlands and wooded hills. The large expanse of Beach Pond serves as a central landmark, straddling the state line between Voluntown and Exeter. Regional history is etched into the terrain through legacy routes like the Shetucket Turnpike and the Narragansett Trail, which connect dispersed settlements such as Escoheag Hill and Pendleton Hill. For those researching local families, the map identifies small, remote burial sites including Kennedy Cem and Robbins Cem. The eastern portion transition into the Arcadia State Management Area, where features like Stepstone Falls and Upper Deep Hole along the Wood River highlight the area's natural hydrology and early conservation efforts.
