1958 Map of Uncasville

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Thames River serves as the central artery of this 1958 survey, flanked by a complex network of maritime, military, and institutional landmarks during the late 1950s. The riverbank is dominated by the U S Naval Reservation and its Submarine Base, which contrast with the nearby educational grounds of the U S Coast Guard Academy and Connecticut College. To the north, the sprawling campus of the Norwich State Hospital and the cultural significance of Mohegan, including the Mohegan Ch and Fort Shantok State Park, reflect the area's deep tribal and colonial history. Transportation routes are well-defined by the New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the Vermont Central Railroad, which supported riverfront settlements like Uncasville, Gales Ferry, and Poquetanuck. The landscape also reveals interesting terrain features such as The Sandy Desert and Vinegar Hill, providing a detailed look at New London County's mid-century geography.
