About this map

The Thames River serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, dividing the busy maritime infrastructure of New London from the residential and military developments in Groton. In the mid-1930s, the western shore is defined by institutional landmarks such as the U S Coast Guard Academy, State Pier, and the Fort Trumbull C G Base guarding the inner harbor. Across the water, the settlement of Groton Heights sits above a shoreline punctuated by the New London Harbor Lighthouse and the Shenecossett Country Club.
