About this map

Winsted sits at the heart of this Litchfield County survey, situated where the Mad River and Still River converge. The landscape is defined by its diverse water bodies and industrial-era infrastructure, including the Mad River Dam and the complex shoreline of Highland Lake. This lake is notable for its distinct sections, such as First Bay and Second Bay, and named landforms like Wintergreen Island and Indian Point.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous burial sites across the terrain, from the Colebrook River Burial Ground in the north to Saint Joseph Cem near the urban center. The area's educational and civic character is marked by the presence of Northwestern Connecticut Community College in Winsted. Beyond the central city, the map tracks the rural character of settlements like Colebrook, Riverton, and Robertsville, connected by a network of historic routes such as Old North Rd and Danbury Quarter Rd.
