1893 Map of Saybrook

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this late nineteenth-century landscape, facilitating a network of maritime and rail transport. At the mouth of the river, the Saybrook Jetty and Saybrook Point anchor the coastline, while the Shore Line Division of the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad links coastal settlements like Westbrook and Old Saybrook. Moving upriver, the importance of steamboat travel and river trade is evident at Goodspeed Landing and Hadlyme Landing. Inland, industrial and residential hubs such as Ivoryton, Center Brook, and Deep River show the established settlement patterns of the era. The topography is defined by prominent heights like Mt. Parnassus and Nickerson Hill, with the river winding past Selden Neck and through numerous coves and inlets that sustained local fishing and commerce.
