About this map

Woodbury and its surrounding hillsides are defined by the convergence of the Nonnewaug River and Weekeepeemee River as they form the Pomperaug River system. The landscape transition from the village center through Hotchkissville to the higher elevations of Orenaug Hills and Joshua Hill reflects a classic New England pattern of valley-floor settlement flanked by steep, rocky terrain. To the north, Flanders Wildlife Pond and the extensive grounds of Paradise Valley Farm highlight the area's preserved open spaces and agricultural heritage.

Local researchers can identify several significant burial grounds, including North Cem, South Cem, and the Stiles Memorial Cem near Pomeraug. Notable landmarks like the Great Hill Lookout Tower and Irish Hills Farms Airport provide specific points of interest for navigating the varied topography. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the waters of Lake Quassapaug, a significant recreational and hydrological feature that has long influenced local development and land use patterns.
