About this map

The Thames River corridor dominates this New London County landscape, serving as a historic arterial waterway between Uncasville and Gales Ferry. The map documents a rich layer of indigenous and colonial heritage, most notably at the Fort Shantok Indian Burying Ground near Crow Hill. Along the riverbanks, the presence of the Yale Boathouse and Harvard Boathouse underscores the long-standing tradition of collegiate rowing on these waters.

Further inland, the landscape transitions into the hills of Ledyard Center and Quaker Hill, where numerous family and community burial grounds like Brewster Burying Ground and Lester Cem are preserved. Transportation history is noted by sites such as Stoddard Ferry and Stoddard Landing, marking old crossing points. Natural landmarks like The Ledyard Oak and the massive Cochegan Rock stand out against a backdrop of complex water systems, including Poquetanuck Cove and Trading Cove Pond.
