About this map

The Thames River corridor dominates this landscape between Norwich and New London, serving as a central artery for transportation and historical settlement. Along its western bank, the New England Central RR tracks trace the river's edge, passing through villages such as Uncasville, Mohegan, and Montville. The map documents a significant concentration of burial sites and cultural landmarks, including the Fort Shantok Indian Burying Ground near Brewster Neck and the Captain Hopley Yeaton Memorial at the southern edge near Connecticut Coll.

Inland topography is marked by notable features like The Sandy Desert and Haughton Mtn, while the eastern side of the river shows the development of Gales Ferry and Ledyard Center. Numerous reservoirs and ponds, such as Ledyard Reservoir and Morgan Pond Reservoir, characterize the eastern uplands. Small cemeteries like Levi Chapman Cem and Poquetanuck Cem are scattered throughout the region, offering specific points of interest for genealogical research and local history.
