2018 Map of Hamburg

About this map

The Eightmile River and its numerous tributaries, including Burnhams Brook and Malt House Brook, define the drainage and settlement patterns of this southeastern Connecticut landscape. The village of Hamburg sits near the southern edge, where Hamburg Bridge crosses toward Hamburg Cove. This area preserves a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Sterling Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Griffin Cem, reflecting a long history of local habitation. The terrain is characterized by named elevations like Nickerson Hill and Dolbia Hill, with Devils Hopyard Field in the north marking a significant open area near Millington. Transportation routes like the Norwich Essex Tpke and Salem Rd connect the scattered hamlets of North Lyme and Salem, while local industry and geography are noted at sites like Macks Mill Hill and Bond Reservoir.
