DescriptionMap of the town of East Haddam, Connecticut, with the town lines of Chatham and Colchester to the north, Salem to the east, Lyme to the south, and Haddam and the Connecticut River to the west. Haddam is divided into districts, marked with broken solid boundary lines. Roads are shown but not labeled. Buildings are depicted as solid black squares and are labeled with the name of the property owner or occupant. Natural features include elevation, conveyed through hachure marks, the Connecticut River and the Salmon River. To the left is an inset map of Hadlyme, located in the southern portion of East Haddam. Roads are shown but not labeled. Buildings are depicted as shaded squares and are labeled with the name of the property owner or occupant. A cemetery is colored green.
Label TextLike many Connecticut towns, East Haddam was made of many separate villages. In other parts of the state, this separate communities often broke off to become new towns in their own right; in other cases they became cities, sometimes overshadowing the mother town of which they remained a part. East Haddam has changed relatively little since 1874, when this map was published by F. W. Beers & Co.as part of an atlas, though the mills in Leesville have long been closed, and East Haddam Landsing and Goodspeed's Landing both now form part of the village of East Haddam.
