About this map

The Housatonic River meets Long Island Sound in this detailed 2021 survey, defining the border between Fairfield and New Haven counties. The shoreline is a dense patchwork of coastal neighborhoods and seasonal havens, including Silver Beach, Laurel Beach, and Lordship, with the tidal estuary of Milford Harbor sheltering local maritime traffic. Inland, the landscape is shaped by the Wepawaug River and Indian River drainages, which flow through settled areas like Milford and Naugatuck Gardens.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Milford Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and the Ansonia - Milford Judicial District Superior Court. The map also illustrates the industrial and transit footprint of the region, from the Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport to the Washington Bridge crossing the Housatonic. Numerous named bars and islands, such as Charles Island and Nells Island, highlight the complex coastal geomorphology that has influenced this area's development for centuries.
