1961 Map of Clinton

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Clinton Harbor and the saltwater shoreline of Long Island Sound dominate the southern edge of this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape transitioning from coastal recreation to modern suburban transit. The shoreline is punctuated by distinct seasonal and year-round communities like Seaview Beach, Clinton Beach, and Harbor View, while the massive Hammonasset State Park preserves the natural reach of Hammonasset Pt. Inland, the 1984 photorevisions highlight the expansion of the Connecticut Turnpike and its various interchanges, such as Interchange 63, which bypasses the older town centers. Local landmarks like the Griswold Airport and a Drive-in Theater near Kelseytown speak to the car-centric culture of the era, even as the Conrail line continues to trace the historic rail corridor. Northward, the terrain climbs toward Roast Meat Hill and the dense woodlands of Cockaponset State Forest, where early cemeteries like Union Cem and Southwest Cem remain as traces of the area's deep colonial roots.
