About this map

South Norwalk and its surrounding coastal communities are defined by a complex shoreline of coves, inlets, and islands as they appeared in 2012. The landscape transitioned from the dense urban centers of East Norwalk and South Norwalk to the residential character of West Norwalk and Noroton Heights. This era of the shoreline is marked by the prominence of the Norwalk River and Fivemile River, which provided natural harbors for the maritime activities that historically shaped the region.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including Riverside Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and several smaller neighborhood plots like Bell Cem. The map also illustrates the archipelago of the Norwalk Islands, featuring Chimon Island and Betts Island, along with public spaces such as Seaview Park and Calf Pasture Beach. Infrastructure is dominated by the I-95 corridor and the institutional presence of Norwalk Community College.
