DescriptionMap of Clarence R. Hyde's property along Mt. Tom Pond in Litchfield, Connecticut. Arnold's property appears to the north, Shaw's to the east, and a cove and outlet to the west. The geographic coordinates and distance in feet of each side of the lot are given, as are the items that mark the corners: iron pins, concrete monuments, and a cross mark on a large boulder. A camp and a shack are the two buildings that are shown on Hyde's land, with a path across the property to a footbridge across the cove. The high water line is shown as being above where the property line is on the pond.
Label TextClarence Reginald Hyde was a lifelong resident of Brooklyn, New York, a gynecologoist and surgeon at the Long Island Hospital. Doctor Hyde's possession of a camp on Mount Tom Pond in Litchfield, Connecticut in the 1920s reflects the development of this area as a summer resort for out-of-state residents.
