1958 Map of Old Mystic

About this map

Old Mystic and its surrounding hill country are captured here at a moment of transition, showing the enduring boundaries of the Pequot Indian Reservation and the Eastern Tribe reservation lands. The landscape is characterized by a series of north-south glacial ridges and wetlands, including Long Pond and Assekonk Swamp. Cultural landmarks like the Mystic Oral Sch and the Hewitt Sch sit alongside historic routes such as the Pequot Trail and Trolley Road. To the east, North Stonington remains a focal point of settlement, while the Pawcatuck State Forest defines the southeastern terrain. A unique layer of purple revisions from 1970 highlights the encroaching modernization of the highway system and residential expansion over the 1942 and 1958 base surveys, specifically noting developments near Burnetts Corner.
