2018 Map of Milford

About this map

Charles Island sits just off the coast of Silver Beach, accessible only at low tide across a natural tombolo, anchoring a shoreline defined by recreational beaches and historic coastal settlements. In the city of Milford, the Wepawaug River flows south through the center of town, passing Memorial Bridge and the Milford Cem before reaching Milford Harbor. This modern topographic study shows the densely developed residential corridors of Milford Lawns, Woodmont, and Bayview, as well as the transition from the Housatonic River wetlands to the industrial and aviation hubs near the Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, from the Beaver Brook Ponds and Milford Reservoir to the numerous swamps like Mohawk Swamp and Billberry Swamp that once dictated the path of early road and rail construction.
