About this map

Guilford sits at the heart of this coastal landscape, where the Amtrak rail line follows the shoreline and connects the village to historic outposts like Leetes Island and Stony Creek. The map illustrates a complex coastal geography defined by Hoadley Neck and a dense archipelago of small landforms including Bear Island, Beers Island, and Mermaid Rock. Inland, the terrain rises toward Nut Plains and the heights of Hungry Hill, with development spreading along established routes like Peddlers Rd.

Tracing the north-south flow of the W River reveals a transition from the agricultural and residential outskirts of North Guilford to the tidal reaches of Guilford Harbor. Local institutional history is anchored by the Guilford High Sch and several prominent burial grounds, including the West Side Cem and Saint Johns Cem. The northeastern corner highlights the settlement of North Madison and the Podunk Great Plain, illustrating the distinct character of these uplands away from the Sound.
