1958 Map of Old Lyme

About this map

Long Island Sound and the mouth of the Connecticut River define this coastal landscape, where the shifting tides meet established maritime settlements. The river acts as a historic boundary between Middlesex and New London Counties, with the Raymond E Baldwin Bridge providing a vital highway link between Old Saybrook and Old Lyme. Along the eastern shore, the map reveals an intricate network of waterways including the Lieutenant River, Black Hall River, and Duck River, which once supported local industry at sites like Upper Millpond and Lower Millpond.
