2011 Map of Mystic

About this map

Mystic Seaport anchors this coastal landscape, illustrating the deep maritime history of the Connecticut shoreline. The complex shoreline includes the village of Mystic, where the Mystic Bascule Bridge crosses the Mystic River, and the established settlements of Stonington, Noank, and West Mystic. The map reveals a high density of small family and community cemeteries, such as Gallup Cemetery, Packer Cemetery, and the Old Breakwater Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. Nautical safety and commerce are central to the area's identity, evidenced by landmarks like the Old Stone Lighthouse and the Stonington Harbor Lighthouse. Further south across the Fishers Island Sound, the northern fringe of Fishers Island is visible, featuring various inland water bodies like Treasure Pond and Middle-Farms Pond along its rocky, indented coast.
