1893 Map of New London

About this map

The Thames River serves as the central artery for this late nineteenth-century survey, dividing the bustling maritime hubs of New London and Groton. At the mouth of the river, Ft Trumbull and the US Naval Station anchor the region's military significance, while the shoreline is dotted with industrial and residential settlements like Niantic and Poquonoc Bridge. The map captures a sophisticated transportation network at a peak of rail influence, featuring the New York Providence and Boston Railroad and the Shore Line Division as they navigate the coastal inlets and river crossings.
