1893 Map of New London

About this map

New London serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century coastal survey, where the Thames River meets the Long Island Sound. The map captures a critical era of transit, showing the convergence of the Shore Line Division and the New York Providence and Boston Railroad at the waterfront. The maritime character of the region is evident in the detailed mapping of Greens Harbor and the U.S. Naval Station on the river’s eastern bank.
