About this map

The Connecticut shoreline at Madison and Killingworth meets the Long Island Sound at a point defined by tidal rivers and recreational history. Hammonasset State Park dominates the coastal landscape, separated from the surrounding neighborhoods of Seaview Beach and Harbor View by the Hammonasset River and Toms Creek. The interior is a mosaic of family-named heights like Roast Meat Hill and Spencer Hill, reflecting a long history of local land use from agriculture to woodland camps.

A notable mix of 20th-century development and preserved space is evident, with Griswold Airport positioned near the marshlands and the Amtrak rail line cutting across the coastal plain. Numerous small water bodies, including Boulder Lake and Whedons Pond, are interspersed among established burial grounds such as Union Cem and Evergreen Cem, marking the generational continuity of these South Central Connecticut communities.
