About this map

Stamford and its surrounding neighborhoods are defined by a complex coastal geography where the Rippowam River and Mianus River meet the Long Island Sound. The shoreline is a dense network of residential and recreational points, including the prominent Shippan Point and Greenwich Point. Inland, the landscape transitions from the urban core near South End to established residential enclaves like Springdale, Glenbrook, and North Mianus.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites throughout the area, from the Old Burying Ground and Old Jewish Cem in the city center to the Stevens Cem and Leads Cem further north. Historical transportation and infrastructure are represented by landmarks such as the Theal Bridge and the Main Street Bridge, which cross the river branches. The presence of the Univ of Connecticut - Stamford and Saint Basil Seminary highlights the long-standing educational and religious foundations of this coastal Fairfield County community.
