About this map

Essex Village and Deep River Center anchor this detailed 2023 survey of the Lower Connecticut River Valley, where the Connecticut River meets the sound. The map traces the intricate shoreline from Old Saybrook west to Clinton Beach, highlighting a dense network of coastal communities and summer colonies including Grove Beach and Saybrook Manor. Inland, the landscape transitions from tidal marshes to the wooded hills of Winthrop and Ivoryton.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, such as Cypress Cem and Saint Johns Roman Catholic Cem, alongside protected conservation lands like the Stewart B McKinney Nat Wildlife Refuge. The map preserves the industrial and agricultural heritage of the region through labels like Chalkers Millpond and historic transit routes including the Middlesex Tpke and Boston Post Rd.
