1971 Map of West Granville

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The hills of Granville State Forest and Tunxis State Forest dominate this 1971 study, capturing the rural borderland between Massachusetts and Connecticut. The landscape is defined by substantial water management projects, most notably the Borden Brook Reservoir and the northern reaches of the Barkhamsted Reservoir East Branch. Small crossroads like West Granville and Granville Center provide the primary points of settlement, connected by the Main Road winding through the uplands. Genealogists can locate family resting places at Woodland Cem and Tolland Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous named peaks such as Prospect Hill and Winchell Mtn, which overlook a network of streams including Ripley Brook and Twining Brook. A prominent Pipeline and Aqueduct Road cutting across the northern sector reflect the region's role in the larger regional water supply infrastructure.
