2015 Map of Winsted

About this map

The Winsted settlement and the northern reaches of Torrington anchor this Litchfield County landscape, where the Still River and Mad River converge. The topography is defined by significant water management and recreation sites, including Highland Lake, Crystal Lake, and the large West Branch Reservoir on the West Branch Farmington River. Educational and community life is centered at the Northwestern Connecticut Community Coll campus in Winsted, while the map records numerous burial sites that serve as vital genealogical markers, such as the Old North Road Burying Ground and Forest View Cem. Outside the main hubs, smaller hamlets like Riverton and Colebrook sit among a network of family-named heights including Panorama Hill and Babb Hill. This modern survey documents a region defined by its narrow valleys, river-fed reservoirs, and the enduring footprints of early mountain-town settlements.
