1983 Map of Old Mystic

About this map

The settlement of Shewville stands as a focal point in this 1983 revision of the Connecticut landscape, situated north of the historic village of Old Mystic. The map illustrates a rural area defined by a mix of wooded uplands and low-lying wetlands, typical of the New London County terrain. This specific edition, field checked in 1977 and updated from 1980 aerial photography, documents the late twentieth-century residential and road patterns just before more intensive modern development altered the region. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage and topographic contours, revealing how historical settlement patterns followed the natural ridges and brook valleys that traverse the quadrangle north toward Preston.
