1958 Map of Old Lyme

About this map

Old Lyme and its surrounding coastal hamlets are detailed in this study of the shoreline and lower Connecticut River valley. The map documents a period of significant infrastructure development, most notably the path of the Connecticut Turnpike and the Raymond E Baldwin Bridge spanning the river toward Old Saybrook. While modern transit routes take hold, older patterns remain visible, such as the Old Lyme Station along the Penn Central line and a network of traditional burying grounds including Duck River Cem and Champion Cem.
