About this map

Pequot Indian Reservation and the Pequot Indian Reservation Eastern Tribe lands define the central landscape of this 1983 survey. This region of New London County is marked by a complex network of glacial geography, from the heights of Lantern Hill to the waters of Long Pond and the extensive Assekonk Swamp. The map details a deeply rooted local history, preserving the locations of the Mashantucket Burial Ground and various family-named landmarks like Gallup Hill and Avery Pond.

In the southern reaches, the village of Old Mystic sits near the head of the Mystic River, while the northern boundaries extend into Preston and North Stonington. Local infrastructure such as the Preston Plains School and the Ledyard High School are mapped alongside recreation routes like the Pequot Trail and Narragansett Trail, illustrating the mix of residential growth and preserved wilderness in the early 1980s.
