2015 Map of Woodbury

About this map

The Pomperaug River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement in this part of Litchfield and New Haven counties, where the village of Woodbury and its neighbor North Woodbury are situated. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent rises, including the Orenaug Hills and Orenaug Rocks, which separate the river valley from the drainage of Hesseky Brook and S Brook. To the east, the suburban growth of Watertown and Middlebury is evident near Lake Winnemaug and the Bald Hill Reservoir. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain deeply influenced by water and topography, from the protected acreage of Flanders Wildlife Pond to the numerous family-named peaks like Sperry Hill and Sherman Hill. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, such as Mount Olive Cem and the Stiles Memorial Cem, documenting the long-standing community centers of the Naugatuck Valley region.
