About this map

Old Lyme and the complex tidal landscape of the Connecticut River estuary define this coastal region during the mid-2010s. The map illustrates a densely settled shoreline where historic village centers meet modern beach communities, such as Sound View and Miami Shores Beach. The influence of the area's maritime and educational heritage is evident in landmarks like the Lyme Acad Coll of Fine Arts and the Raymond E Baldwin Bridge, which spans the river toward Saybrook Point.

Inland, the terrain rises toward heights like Ely Hill and Amon Hill, with numerous waterways such as the Lieutenant River and Black Hall River carving through the landscape. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including Duck River Cem, Griswold Cem, and the historic Lady Fenwicks Grave. The presence of Lyme Station and the Mile Creek Airport highlights the transport infrastructure supporting this intersection of riverine and Long Island Sound environments.
