1943 Map of Old Mystic

About this map

Old Mystic and the surrounding township of North Stonington are documented here during the early 1940s, revealing a landscape defined by its glacial heritage and long-standing tribal lands. The map prominently delineates two sections of the Pequot Indian Reservation, including the Eastern Tribe territory. This area is characterized by a high density of named hills and water bodies, such as Lantern Hill Pond and Wintechog Hill, which influenced the placement of early settlements and road networks.
