Label TextThis map of Connecticut was apparently a blank form issued by the State Department of Health to use in tracking the spread of disease. A similar map which appeared in the Hartford Courant in 1923 was used to trace an outbreak of smallpox that centered in Bridgeport the previous year.
NotesCartographic note: No scaleDate Note: The last town in Connecticut to be incorporated was West Haven, which separated from Orange in 1921. Since West Haven appears on this map, it date from 1921 or later.
