About this map

Torrington and its neighboring hillsides display a landscape defined by the varied headwaters of the Naugatuck and Bantam river systems. The town is flanked by a series of prominent peaks, including Ivy Mtn and Red Mtn, which frame the residential growth extending from the urban center toward West Torrington and Drakeville. This contemporary survey highlights the civic heart of the region at the Litchfield County Court House, while numerous smaller settlements like Newberry Corner and Newfield maintain their distinct identities along the winding secondary roads.

The distribution of historical sites, such as the Goshen Center Cem and Saint Thomas Cem, provides a map of early settlement patterns across the Goshen plateau. Water management remains a central feature of the terrain, with the Litchfield Reservoir, Stillwater Pond, and Hatchaloosie Reservoir punctuating the valleys. These reservoirs and the surrounding marshes, like Peat Swamp, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Northwest Hills region.
