1954 Map of Guilford

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The town of Guilford and its surrounding coastal hamlets are documented during a transformative mid-century period as the modern highway system begins to overlay the older colonial and industrial landscape. The arrival of the Connecticut Turnpike, noted with several major interchanges, cuts across a territory previously defined by the Boston Post Road and the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Along the shoreline, the map details a complex network of points and islands including Sachem Head, Leetes Island, and the cluster of the Thimble Islands near Stony Creek. Inland, the massive expanse of the Cockaponset State Forest dominates the northern uplands, bordering small settlements like North Madison and Nut Plains. Local institutions such as the Calvin Leete Sch, the St John Cem, and the village-centered Guilford Sta provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this New Haven County coastal region.
