DescriptionMap of Lake Waramaug in Litchfield County, Connecticut. The width of the lake in various spots is measured in feet, as is the length. Sucker Brook is visible in the northeast corner. Solid lines appear to indicate roads, and rectangles along the roads probably indicate houses or other buildings. They are labeled with what are presumably the owners' names. Next to Hawes Point on the north side of the lake is a smoker camp, while next to Point Beautiful on the south side of the lake is a gunnery camp. Canoes, a sailboat, and a steamship are depicted on the lake's surface.
