1958 Map of Old Lyme

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Connecticut River marks a historic transition from the coastal village of Old Saybrook across to Old Lyme, where the Raymond E Baldwin Bridge and the Penn Central railroad span the water. This mid-century landscape is defined by the tidal marshes and numerous islands at the river's mouth, including Great Island and Goose Island. Inland, the map reveals a network of country roads such as Bill Lane and Mile Creek Road leading to family landmarks like Lord Hill and established cemeteries including Duck River Cem. The shoreline of the Long Island Sound is dotted with seasonal communities like White Sands Beach and Sound View, while the eastern portion is dominated by the Stone Ranch Military Reservation and the extensive grounds of Rocky Neck State Park, illustrating the balance between military use, public recreation, and historic shoreline settlement.
