About this map

The Housatonic River separates the coastal communities of Stratford and Milford in this mid-century portrait of the Connecticut shoreline. Dense residential development stretches toward the Long Island Sound, punctuated by numerous named beaches like Walnut Beach and Silver Beach. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning through major infrastructure projects, featuring the Merritt Parkway and the Connecticut Turnpike as they bypass older inland centers.
