DescriptionMap of what was referred to as "New Saybrook," also known as the Fenwick area of Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The South Cove is to the north, the Connecticut River to the east, and the Long Island Sound is to the south. 317 numbered lots of land are depicted. Fenwick Hall, a hotel, is depicted in the middle of the peninsula. An unnamed railroad line and a depot are shown across the peninsula on the left side of the map. Two areas are colored green, one between Sequassen and Pequot Avenues and the other at the end of the peninsula.
Label TextThis map of New Saybrook, the area now known as Fenwick, in the town of Old Saybrook, Connecticut, is the lower portion of a page from F. W. Beers's 1874 Atlas of Middlesex County, Connecticut. It is directly based on the map of New Saybrook surveyed and drawn by William R. Clarke and printed by Kellogg & Bulkeley two or three years earlier. A close comparison of the two maps sheds interesting light upon Beers's use of sources. Aside from the bright coloring of the Beers map, the two are virtually identifcal.
