1968 Map of Guilford

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Guilford and its surrounding coastal hamlets are captured here during a period of mid-century growth along the Connecticut shoreline. The town's historical maritime and agricultural identity is evident in the transition from the busy Guilford Harbor to the inland farms of North Guilford and North Madison. Transportation infrastructure, including the Connecticut Turnpike and the Amtrak line serving the Guilford Sta, illustrates the region's connection to the larger New England corridor. Extensive tracts of the Cockaponset State Forest dominate the northern terrain, interspersed with numerous ponds such as Kelsey Pond and the Guilford Lakes. Along the jagged coastline, the map details many small islands and points, including Sachem Head and Leetes Island, which retain their distinct local character. This survey also documents essential community landmarks like the Our Lady of Grace Monastery and Guilford High School during the 1960s.
