2015 Map of Branford

About this map

The coastal and inland landscapes of south-central Connecticut are revealed through this 2015 study, dominated by the expansive Lake Saltonstall and the massive reservoir of Lake Gaillard. The settlement patterns of Branford, North Branford, and North Haven are shown in detail, documenting the modern suburban density and road networks like Sackett Point Rd and Foxon Rd. Along the Long Island Sound shore, the map depicts the complex geology of islands and points, from Indian Neck and Pine Orchard to the rocky clusters of Stony Creek and Double Beach. Genealogists will find the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, including All Saints Cem and the Damascus Cem. Inland, prominent terrain features like Rabbit Rock and Saltonstall Ridge provide a topographical frame for the residential development surrounding the Quinnipiac River and the Farm River valley.
