1952 Map of Deep River

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this mid-century survey, dividing the landscape between East Haddam and Chester. This corridor is defined by its deep-seated colonial and maritime roots, evidenced by the high concentration of family burying grounds and early industrial sites. Gillette Castle State Park stands prominently above the river, while across the water, the settlement of Deep River and the nearby Johnson Mill on the Salmon River reflect the region's enduring mix of recreation and small-scale manufacturing.
