About this map

The Naugatuck River corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine of this 2018 survey, anchoring the dense urban center of Waterbury and its surrounding neighborhoods. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of residential hills and named peaks like Bunker Hill, Town Plot Hill, and Chestnut Hill, which rise above the river valley. Significant educational institutions, including Univ of Connecticut Waterbury and Naugatuck Valley Community College, are integrated into the city fabric, reflecting the region's modern economic base.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of burial sites reflecting the area's diverse ethnic and religious heritage, from the Saint Marys Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Cem and Lithuanian Cem to the Beth El Synagogue Cem. The transport infrastructure is clearly defined by the Pan Am Southern railroad and the I-84 expressway, illustrating how the valley's historic manufacturing legacy in places like Oakville and Waterville has evolved into a contemporary logistics and service hub.
