DescriptionMap of Killingly, Connecticut, from Putnam to the north, Rhode Island to the east, Plainfield and Sterling to the south, and the Quinebaug River, Pomfret and Brooklyn to the west. Killingly is divided into eighteen numbered districts and the borough of Danielsonville. Roads are shown but not labeled, and buildings are marked with a black square and the owner or occupant's name. An unnamed railroad runs north-south through the town. Natural features depicted include elevation, conveyed through hachure marks, ponds, rivers, and brooks. Inset maps show Dayville, Nashawaug water power estate, Williamsville, and Chestnut Hill.
