1960 Map of Sherwood Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Sherwood Island State Park anchors this coastal survey, showing the Fairfield County shoreline during a period of significant postwar infrastructure growth. The 1971 photorevisions highlight the expansion of the Connecticut Turnpike and the busy Penn Central rail line, which includes the Westport Sta hub. The map captures the distinct character of the Gold Coast, from the residential clusters at Greens Farms and Saugatuck Shores to the recreational spaces of the Westport Longshore Club Park. Beyond the mainland, the intricate geography of the islands is meticulously detailed, featuring Cockenoe Island and the dangerous Cockenoe Shoal. Geologists and local historians can trace the tidal reaches of the Saugatuck River and the protected waters of the Yacht Basin and Sherwood Millpond.
