1958 Map of Old Lyme

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Connecticut River meets Long Island Sound in this detailed study of the shoreline during a period of significant infrastructure development. The introduction of the Connecticut Turnpike Toll Road, including the high-speed Memorial Highway, bisects the landscape of Old Lyme, contrasting the new automobile age with the established rail corridor of the New York New Haven And Hartford and Lyme Station. Residential growth is evident in coastal communities like White Sands Beach, Sound View, and Old Lyme Shores, which sit south of the expansive Stone Ranch Military Reservation. Local history is preserved in the location of several Quarries and cemeteries such as Duck River Cem and Champion Cem. Along the river, the marshy expanse of Great Island and the tidal waters of Lord Cove remain largely undeveloped, while the Saybrook Lighthouse stands at the mouth of the harbor near Fenwick.
