1943 Map of Old Mystic
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Pequot Indian Reservation and the Pequot Indian Reservation (Eastern Tribe) anchor this 1942 survey of the Connecticut landscape where Ledyard, North Stonington, and Groton meet. The map documents a rural coastal interior dominated by significant water bodies like Long Pond and Lake of Isles, surrounded by numerous named heights including Lantern Hill and Wintechog Hill. Early 1940s infrastructure is clearly visible, from the established settlement at Old Mystic to the network of local schools such as the Mystic Oral Sch, Cider Hill Sch, and Gallup Hill Sch. The terrain is deeply hydrological, featuring the expansive Assekonk Swamp and Cedar Swamp, which dictated the winding paths of roads like Indiantown Road and the Pequot Trail.
