2021 Map of Guilford

About this map

Guilford and its historic center dominate this shoreline landscape, where the town's dense residential grid meets the tidal marshes of Guilford Harbor. The area's settlement history is deeply engraved in the landscape through numerous burial grounds, from the Old Guilford North Cem in the north to Alderbrook Cem near the town center. Industrial and agricultural roots are visible in features like the Town Millpond and Witch Hazel Millpond, while the southern shoreline at Sachem Head and Leetes Island reveals a complex network of points and coves along Long Island Sound. This modern record shows the persistent presence of the Amtrak rail line and the Boston Post Road, which follow ancient coastal corridors. Inland, the topography transitions to the elevations of Hungry Hill and Prospect Hill, interspersed with natural wetlands like Beaver Head Swamp.
