2015 Map of Woodmont

About this map

Lighthouse Point and the hazardous rock formations of Long Island Sound dominate this coastal survey of the Connecticut shoreline near New Haven. The map details the intricate residential street grids and shorefront communities that define the region, including West Shore and the borough of Woodmont. Along the water, a succession of named beaches such as Prospect Beach, Shell Beach, and Silver Sands Beach illustrate the area's long-standing character as a maritime destination. Inland, the landscape is shaped by rising terrain like Jones Hill and the drainage of the Oyster River. Offshore features like Quixes Ledge, Adams Fall, and South West Ledge indicate the complex navigation required to enter the New Haven Harbor Entrance Channel. This document provides a precise record of the developed coastline from Milford to Momauguin during the mid-2010s.
