1984 Map of Uncasville

About this map

The Thames River serves as the central artery for this mid-1980s landscape, connecting the industrial and institutional hubs of New London and Norwich. Along the eastern bank, the massive U S Naval Reservation and its submarine base dominate the riverfront, while the Central Vermont railroad tracks follow the western shore through Uncasville. Further north, the expansive Norwich State Hospital complex sits across from the Fort Shantok State Park, highlighting the concentration of state and federal institutions in the corridor. Inland, the terrain shifts to a network of wooded hills and reservoirs, such as Ledyard Reservoir and Morgan Pond. The presence of sites like Hebrew Cem in Preston and the USCG Academy near the southern border illustrates the diverse cultural and educational infrastructure supporting the growing communities of Ledyard Center and Quaker Hill.
