2018 Map of Niantic

About this map

Niantic Bay and the coastal landscapes of New London County define this contemporary view of the Connecticut shoreline. The complex interface of land and water is visible in the numerous coves and points, including Smith Cove and Saunders Point, which separate the village of Niantic from neighboring Oswegatchie. The map details the residential and recreational development of the late 2010s, from the beach communities of Attawan Beach and Crescent Beach to the rocky outcrops of Black Point. Inland, the terrain is shaped by hills such as Manitock Hill and Oswegatchie Hill, while a variety of local history sites are noted, including Stone Church Cem and the Congregation Ohave Sholem Cem. The presence of the Cross Sound Ferry route emphasizes the region's enduring role as a maritime transit hub.
