Walt, I'm sure you've already thought of this, but there are a good number of maps in the Connecticut Digital Archive, particularly this one: http://collections.ctdigitalarchive.org/islandora/object/20002%3A860233482.
Are you looking for a particular time period (a historic map)?
The University of New Hampshire has a full set of USGS Maps of New England and New York online. You can find al of the Connecticut maps beginning here: http://docs.unh.edu/nhtopos/ConnecticutList.htm. I'm seeing, though, that the years are somewhat inconsistent among towns. Saybrook, for instance, is 1893, but Old Lyme is 1941 and 1951.
Please let me know if there's anything I can provide for you here in Storrs, but I'll need a bit more information (towns, years, type of map).
Best,
Laura

Subject: Query - Good Map of the Connecticut River
I will be teaching a course next semester on the Connecticut River, and would like to find a really good map(s) of the river source to sea for students to refer to. The ideal map would have cities and towns as well as key physical features (mountains, major tributaries). It or they would also be relatively small (no bigger than a road map - remember those? - and affordable.
Can anyone point me to some possible solutions? I would be most grateful.
