About this map

Gillette Castle State Park overlooks a prominent bend in the Connecticut River, anchoring a landscape defined by its deep maritime and colonial heritage. This riverfront area includes the historic settlements of East Haddam, Hadlyme, and Deep River, where the terrain rises sharply from the water at landmarks like Rattlesnake Ledges and Mount Parnassus. The mapping reveals a high density of ancestral sites, including the Old Cove Burying Ground and Hadlyme Church Burying Ground, reflecting centuries of local history.

Infrastructure like Goodspeed Airport and the network of roads such as Rutty Ferry Rd and Old Depot Rd trace the evolution of transport along the valley. Large river features like Selden Neck and Lord Island demonstrate the significant scale of the waterway, while inland water bodies such as Johnson Millpond and Deep Hollow Reservoir suggest the historical reliance on local brooks for industry and water supply.
