1970 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

The industrial and coastal identity of Bridgeport is captured in high detail as it appeared in 1970, showing a landscape defined by its harbor and deep-seated transportation networks. The dense urban core radiates from the Pequonnock River and Yellow Mill Pond, where heavy rail lines for Amtrak and Conrail intersect with the modern corridor of Interstate 95. To the east, the Igor Sikorsky Memorial Airport sits at the edge of the Great Meadows, highlighting the city's role in aviation history.
