About this map

Clinton and Madison anchor this coastal Connecticut landscape, where the Hammonasset River and Indian River flow toward the complex shoreline of Long Island Sound. The transition from the developed coastline to the upland interior is marked by prominent ridges such as Roast Meat Hill and Cow Hill. In the northern reaches, the Hammonasset Reservoir and Killingworth Reservoir dominate the hydrology, reflecting the managed water systems of the mid-20th century.

Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including Union Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Hammonasset Cem. The maritime character of the region is evident in the cluster of beaches and landmarks like Hammonasset Beach, Clinton Harbor, and Tuxis Island. The interior still retains its colonial-rooted geography, evidenced by historic place names like Nineveh Bridge and Meeting House Hill, providing a detailed look at the local road networks and land divisions as they existed in the early 21st century.
