1951 Map of Clinton

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Clinton and Madison line the shoreline of Long Island Sound in this early 1950s study, where the coastal lowlands meet the rising timberlands of the Cockaponset State Forest. The map documents a transition from the dense beach developments of Clinton Beach and Ridgewood to the interior highlands marked by Roast Meat Hill and Chestnut Hill. Historic transportation corridors like the Boston Post Road and the Hartford and New Haven Turnpike illustrate the region's enduring role as a maritime and transit hub. Local landmarks provide significant genealogical and community context, including the Red Sch at Cow Hill and several burial grounds such as Evergreen Cem and St Marys Cem. The hydrology is defined by the winding Hammonasset River and numerous ponds like Schreeder Pond in Chatfield Hollow State Park, reflecting the area's development around its water resources.
