1958 Map of New London
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
New London and Groton face one another across the deep waters of the Thames River, serving as a critical maritime and military hub during the mid-20th century. The map highlights the significant federal and state presence in the area, from the U S Coast Guard Academy on the river's western bank to the Fort Griswold State Park overlooking the harbor. This period of the 1950s shows the coastal landscape just as the Conn. Turnpike and Gold Star Memorial Bridge began reshaping regional travel, while the Penn Central tracks still skirted the shoreline.
