1951 Map of Sherwood Point

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Sherwood Island State Park and the surrounding coastline of Westport dominate this mid-century maritime survey. The landscape is characterized by its tidal geography, where the Saugatuck River meets the sound, creating a complex series of points and inlets like Owenoke, Cedar Point, and Seymour Point. The transportation corridor is clearly defined by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad and the Connecticut Turnpike, which reflect the area's development as a suburban coastal hub. Inland, established neighborhoods such as Greens Farms and Compo Hills sit alongside landmarks like the Longshore Country Club. Offshore, the survey meticulously details the hazardous Norwalk Islands, including Cockenoe Island and its surrounding Cockenoe Reef, providing a glimpse into the navigational challenges of Long Island Sound before significant modern alterations.
