1961 Map of Clinton

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Long Island Sound borders the coastal communities of Clinton and Madison in this mid-century portrait of the Connecticut shoreline. The landscape transitions from the developed beaches of Seaview Beach and Clinton Beach to the dense woodlands of Cockaponset State Forest and Hammonasset State Park. Inland, the terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Roast Meat Hill and Buell Hill, while the Hammonasset River carves a natural boundary between New Haven and Middlesex counties. The map reflects a period of significant infrastructure, showing the Connecticut Turnpike and the Penn Central railroad cutting through the coastal plain. Notable local landmarks such as Griswold Airport and a Drive-in Theater capture the era's recreational and transportation character, while a Gold Mine near Evergreen Cem points to earlier resource extraction in the region.
