About this map

The Connecticut River defines the geography of this 2015 survey, serving as the central artery for several historic riverfront settlements. From the village of East Haddam down to Deep River and Brockway Landing, the map records a landscape where the river's influence is seen in naming conventions like Goodspeeds Landing and Seovill Landing. This edition preserves the locations of numerous early cemeteries, such as the Old Cove Burying Ground and Mount Parnassus Burying Ground, which provide critical reference points for local genealogists.

Industry and transport legacies are visible through the Valley RR line following the western bank and the presence of the East Haddam Bridge. The topography is marked by significant features like Mt Tom, Rattlesnake Ledges, and the tidal waters of Selden Cove and Chapman Pond. These landmarks, alongside smaller water bodies like Johnson Millpond and Bashan Lake, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the lower Connecticut River valley as it appeared in the early 21st century.
