2021 Map of Mystic

About this map

Mystic Seaport anchors this maritime landscape, where the Mystic River flows past the Mystic Bascule Bridge into a dense network of harbors and coves. The coastline is defined by historical settlements including Noank, West Mystic, and Stonington, each shaped by its relationship to Long Island Sound and Fishers Island Sound. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, from the coastal Wequetequock Burying Grounds to the Denison Burial Ground near Murphy Point. To the south, Fishers Island sits across the water, separated by the Intracoastal Waterway and ferry routes. The transportation infrastructure of the 21st century is evident in the Amtrak rail line crossing the estuaries and the Stonington Airpark situated near Wequetequock Cove, while numerous reefs and islands like Enders Island and Ram Island speak to the area's nautical hazards and heritage.
