About this map

The Natchaug River and Willimantic River converge at the Crotch of the River to form the Shetucket River, a hydrological junction that historically powered the industrial development of Willimantic. This modern survey documents the urban layout of the city, including the Willimantic Footbridge and the campus of Eastern Connecticut State Univ, alongside the neighboring village of Conantville. Beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into the hills and valleys of eastern Connecticut, where small settlements like South Windham, Williams Crossing, and North Franklin are connected by a network of winding roads and historical landmarks.

Local history is preserved in sites such as Saint Joseph Cem and Trumbull Cem, while the Windham Airport occupies the plateau north of the river. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named rises like Hosmer Mtn and Owunnegunset Hill, interspersed with scattered ponds such as Lymans Pond and Eatons Pond. This map details the intersection of modern infrastructure and long-standing rural geography across portions of Tolland, Windham, and New London counties.
