About this map

Lake Chaffee sits at the center of this 2023 survey, surrounded by the upland terrain of northeastern Connecticut. The landscape is defined by its numerous family-named peaks and ridges, including Lead Mine Hill, Bald Hill, and Snow Hill. The settlement at Union is marked by its historic burial grounds, such as Union Center Cem and Old Union Center Cem, providing a clear record of local lineage in the Capitol and Northeastern Connecticut planning regions.

Water plays a critical role in the geography of the area, from the Stafford Springs Reservoir Number 2 in the north to the meandering paths of the Mount Hope River and the Fenton River. Small-scale infrastructure like the Westford Airstrip and the network of gravel and local roads like Moose Meadow Rd reveal the contemporary rural character of Westford. The presence of the Nipmuck Forest Trail highlights the persistence of large wooded tracts across the Tolland County landscape.
