How to Use This Pleasant Valley, Connecticut Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pleasant Valley, Connecticut. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Connecticut or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Pleasant Valley.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Pleasant Valley, Connecticut

Pleasant Valley is a locality in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. It is a small community with a population of 161. The population density is 122.1 people per km². Pleasant Valley is located at 41.9123°N, 72.9879°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 06063.

Pleasant Valley asserts itself as a quiet intersection of water and woodland, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the West Branch Farmington River that cuts through the landscape. It lies 10.3 miles northeast of Torrington, CT (from Torrington, CT: bearing 42°T), and is situated 3.8 miles east of Winsted. The terrain here rises in modest, wooded swells toward the profile of Ragged Mountain, which looms a mile to the east as a silent, craggy sentinel over the valley floor. Dense stands of hemlock and hardwoods cloak the American Legion State Forest, where the air holds a permanent, cool dampness even in the height of midsummer. This is a place where light filters through the canopy in thin, pale shafts, illuminating the moss-covered stones and the dark, swirling currents of the riverbank, creating a quietude that feels both ancient and entirely present.

Pleasant Valley carries the weight of a local economy once tethered to the power of the water, where the legacy of early mills shaped the settlement patterns of the riverbanks. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the proximity of Lake Mc Donough provides a still, reflective counterpoint to the movement of the river, anchoring the geography of the surrounding woods. Today, the land is marked by the enduring presence of the American Legion State Forest, which serves as a sprawling common ground for those who traverse the trails and seek the solace of the deep timber. The character of the locality remains tied to this deliberate pace, where the rhythm of the seasons—from the hard frost of winter to the sudden, verdant explosion of spring—governs the daily life of those who live among the ridges and the running water.

About This Pleasant Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pleasant Valley, Connecticut. Coordinates: 41.912318, -72.987882. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Pleasant Valley includes the ZIP code (06063), telephone area code (203, 475, 860, 959), county seat of Litchfield County (Litchfield), and school district assignment (Barkhamsted School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
