2012 Map of Milford

About this map

The Housatonic River meets Long Island Sound in this detailed 2012 study of the Connecticut shoreline, highlighting the complex relationship between the estuary and the urban development of Milford. The landscape is defined by its coastal geography, from the protective sandbars of Charles Island and Milford Point to the heavily developed reaches of Devon and Lordship. The map records a modern transportation network where the Metro-North Railroad and major spans like the Washington Bridge cross the water, alongside specialized facilities such as the Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport. Interior features reveal the civic history of the region, including the Milford Cem and the former grounds of Arnold College. Small ponds and marshlands, including Gulf Pond and Beaver Brook Ponds, remain interspersed among the residential neighborhoods of Morningside and Wildermere Beach, illustrating the persistent coastal hydrology of the South Central Connecticut Planning Region.
