1963 Map of Westport

About this map

The East Branch and West Branch of the Westport River dominate this coastal landscape, framing a series of historic crossroads and maritime settlements in the early 1960s. The village of Westport Point sits at the confluence where the river meets Westport Harbor, serving as a gateway to the barrier beach system at Horseneck Beach State Reservation. Inland, the map documents a network of named corners, such as Handy Four Corners and Sissons Corner, reflecting a rural settlement pattern established long before modern development.
