1961 Map of Deep River

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery of this lower valley landscape, carving a wide path through the highlands of Middlesex and New London counties. Along its banks, the dramatic stone silhouette of Gillette Castle overlooks Hadlyme, while the tracks of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad trace the western shoreline through Deep River and Tylerville. The region’s deep colonial roots are visible in the many family and parish burying grounds, including the Old Cove Burying Ground near the Salmon River and the Fountain Hill Cemetery. Inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of hills like Mt Parnassus and Bald Hill, interspersed with managed conservation lands such as the Cockaponset State Forest. From the mills at Moodus to the ferry landing at Brockway Landing, the map documents a transition from early industrial water-power sites to a landscape of state parks and residential river towns.
