2012 Map of Deep River

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this portion of the Lower Connecticut River Valley, defining the boundaries and economic life of settlements like East Haddam, Chester, and Deep River. This modern survey details the persistent maritime and industrial heritage of the region, from the Warners Quarry Dock on the western bank to the Goodspeeds Landing and the iconic East Haddam Bridge. The landscape is dotted with numerous ancestral sites, including the Old Cove Burying Ground near Graveyard Point and the Mount Parnassus Burying Ground to the east. The rail corridor of the Valley RR follows the western shoreline, connecting the riverfront communities. Notable inland features such as Mount Parnassus and Rattlesnake Ledges overlook a complex network of tributaries like Moodus River and Whalebone Creek, which have historically powered local industry and provided natural harbors like Deep River Cove.
