1941 Map of Lyme

About this map

Lyme Sta and the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad define the coastal infrastructure of this New London County landscape as it appeared just before World War II. The settlement at Old Lyme serves as a hub, surrounded by a complex network of waterways including the Lieutenant River and Black Hall River. Further inland, the character of the land shifts toward small clusters like Laysville and the Bills Hill Sch, suggesting a community still deeply tied to its local hills and ponds.
