About this map

New London and Groton serve as the maritime heart of this coastal survey, flanking the deep channel of the Thames River as it empties into Long Island Sound. The area's strategic naval importance is evident at Fort Trumbull USN Reservation and the Conn Nautical Sch, while across the water, Groton Heights and Poquonock Bridge mark the expanding residential and industrial footprint of the eastern shore. The coastal landscape is dotted with navigation aids like the New London Harbor Lighthouse and New London Ledge Lighthouse.
