2018 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

Bridgeport is shown as a dense coastal hub, anchored by its maritime identity and industrial history along the Pequonnock River. The landscape is a network of historic hill settlements, including Meetinghouse Hill, Toilsome Hill, and Mill Hill, which overlook a complex shoreline of inlets and points. Significant genealogical and local history markers are found in burial sites like the Old Stratfield Cem and Old Burying Ground, which provide deep ties to the colonial foundations of the region. The map details the modern development of educational institutions such as Sacred Heart Univ and the Univ of Bridgeport, alongside the massive footprint of the Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford. The Bridgeport - Port Jefferson Ferry route and the deep Yellow Mill Channel highlight the ongoing importance of the harbor. Public spaces like Fairchild Memorial Park and Seaside Beach are set against a backdrop of industrial infrastructure, such as Steel Point, reflecting the city's evolution from a manufacturing center to a multi-faceted urban landscape.
