2023 Map of Guilford

About this map

Guilford and its surrounding coastline reveal a intricate network of tidal marshes and glacial landforms along Long Island Sound. The town center is flanked by significant local water bodies such as the Town Millpond and Witch Hazel Millpond, illustrating a legacy of early water-powered industry. To the north, the landscape transitions from the coastal lowlands of Guilford Center to the elevations of Race Hill and Walnut Hill, punctuated by numerous reservoirs like Guilford Lake and West Lake. Genealogy researchers can locate several established burial grounds across the area, including Old Guilford North Cem and Alderbrook Cem. The map clearly shows the fragmented shoreline of Leetes Island and the prominent granite outcrops of Sachem Head, while the eastern boundary is defined by the meandering course of the East River. Inland, the Podunk Great Plain provides a distinct contrast to the more varied terrain of Hungry Hill and Prospect Hill.
