1934 Map of Niantic
USGS Topo · Published 1934About this map
Niantic Bay and the surrounding coastline of East Lyme and Waterford are captured here during a period of transition in the mid-1930s. The shoreline is characterized by a mix of summer colonies and institutional footprints, including the Seaside Connecticut State Sanatorium and the Connecticut State Farm for Women. Transportation is anchored by the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad, which cuts through the coastal landscape, connecting settlements like Niantic and Crescent Beach. Inland, the terrain rises toward heights such as Mt. Taber and Mullen Hill, while the Niantic River serves as a prominent natural boundary. This survey reflects the era's recreational development, evidenced by Rocky Neck State Park and the cluster of beaches along Two Tree Island Channel. Local centers like Flanders Village and Jordan show the established post office and school networks of the time.
