1958 Map of Old Lyme

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Stone Ranch Military Reservation and the Connecticut National Guard training grounds dominate the wooded heights east of the Connecticut River in this mid-century survey. The landscape reflects a transition from early industrial water power at Upper Millpond and Lower Millpond to a shoreline economy defined by summer colonies and coastal transit. The New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad cuts through the marshy lowlands near Lyme Station, while the Hartford Turnpike and the Raymond E Baldwin Bridge signal the modernization of Connecticut's highway system. Along the Long Island Sound, established beach communities like Sound View, Point O' Woods, and Hawks Nest Beach sit adjacent to the protected acreage of Rocky Neck State Park. Local history is preserved in the scattered family plots of Ely Cem and Champion Cem.
