About this map

Shippan Point and the complex shoreline of Long Island Sound define the southern reaches of this Stamford survey, where the Rippowam River meets the tide at Stamford Harbor Lighthouse. The map details a dense suburban landscape transitioning into the coastal neighborhoods of Old Greenwich and Riverside. This 2012 snapshot of Fairfield County shows the modern alignment of the Metro-North Railroad and I-95 as they corridor through the commercial heart of the city near the Main Street Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional concentration of burial sites, from the centrally located Old Burying Ground and Old Jewish Cem to smaller neighborhood yards like Tomac Cem and Adams Cem. The northern terrain rises toward Webbs Hill and Hunting Ridge, where more dispersed residential patterns replace the tight grids of Glenbrook and Springdale. Educational and spiritual landmarks like Saint Basils College and numerous parish grounds provide further points of interest for those tracing the community's social development.
