About this map

Westport and Fairfield occupy a densely populated landscape shaped by coastal topography and historic transit corridors. The Metro-North railroad line runs parallel to the shore, passing through Southport and connecting these commuter hubs. The terrain is defined by a series of named elevations such as Turkey Hill, Greenfield Hill, and Sasco Hill, which rise above the coastal plain and the intricate waterways of Southport Harbor.

Water management and conservation are central to the region's character, evidenced by the large Aspetuck Reservoir and Hemlock Reservoir to the north, and protected natural features like Wakeman Island and Sasco Hill Beach. Historic burial grounds, including Oaklawn Cem and Colonial Cem, are scattered throughout the residential fabric, offering critical data for genealogists. The presence of Fairfield Univ and Staples High Sch highlights the area's development as a sophisticated suburban center in the early 21st century.
