About this map

Madison Center and the village of Clinton anchor this coastal survey, where the Hammonasset River forms a natural boundary between New Haven and Middlesex counties. The shoreline of Long Island Sound is defined by a series of points and recreational stretches, including Hammonasset Beach, Seaview Beach, and Middle Beach. Inland, the landscape rises toward a series of named elevations such as Roast Meat Hill and Spencer Hill, revealing a pattern of early settlements and local infrastructure.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, from the Old Southwest Cem and Evergreen Cem to the Meeting House Hill landmark. The transition from the dense residential grid of Madison to the rural north is marked by water features like the Kelseytown Reservoir and Indian Lake, alongside small river crossings like the Ninevah Bridge. This survey captures the specialized geography of the Connecticut coast, where tidal creeks like Dudley Creek and rocky outcrops like Tuxis Island meet established town centers.
