1947 Map of Sherwood Point

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Sherwood Island State Park anchors this coastal survey, showing the Fairfield County shoreline just after the Second World War. The map details the intricate relationship between the marshy inlets and the developing residential communities of Compo, Owenoke, and Green Farms. Coastal infrastructure is well-defined, from the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line running parallel to U.S. Route 1, to the various points and islands that define the Long Island Sound waterfront. Marine features such as Cockenoe Island, Peck Ledge, and Goose Island are plotted in relation to the mainland, while inland water bodies like Sherwood Pond and Mill Creek illustrate the natural drainage that shaped local development.
