1944 Map of Essex

About this map

Ivoryton and Centerbrook anchor the inland reaches of this mid-century survey, while the maritime character of the Connecticut River dominates the eastern edge. The shoreline is a dense sequence of summer colonies and landings, including Quotonset Beach and Chalker Beach, reflecting the region's development as a coastal retreat. Further inland, the landscape is defined by its water-powered past, evidenced by numerous mill ponds such as Chalkers Mill Pond and Messerschmidt Pond along the many brooks feeding into Westbrook Harbor.
