About this map

New London and its surrounding maritime landscape are defined by the deep waters of the Thames River, where the Gold Star Memorial Bridge links the city to Long Hill and Poquonock Bridge. This coastal hub is home to established institutions such as the United States Coast Guard Acad and Mitchell Coll, alongside military and historical landmarks like Fort Trumbull. To the south, the map extends across the Long Island Sound to include Fishers Island, where Elizabeth Field and West Harbor anchor the island's geography.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous burial sites, from the venerable Antient Burial Ground to the Starr Cem and Col Ledyard Cem. The intricate shoreline is dotted with local landmarks like The Kissing Rocks, Osprey Beach, and the specialized facilities at the Univ of Connecticut-Avery Point. The map also details the transport network of the era, including the Groton-New London Airport and the coastal rail line identified as Track 157311.
