About this map

The Thames River serves as the busy maritime corridor between New London and Groton in this mid-1930s survey. This coastal landscape is heavily defined by its nautical and military installations, featuring the U S Coast Guard Academy, the State Pier, and the Fort Trumbull C G Base guarding the harbor entrance. On the eastern shore, the Sheneccossett Country Club and Trumbull Airport occupy the coastal plain, while the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts through the center of Groton and Poquonock Bridge.
