DescriptionMap of Connecticut, with Massachusetts to the north, Rhode Island to the east, the Long Island Sound and Long Island to the south, and New York to the west. Connecticut is divided into towns, marked by solid lines, and counties, marked by broken solid and dotted lines. Each of the counties is outlined in pink, yellow, green, orange or blue, and washed in a lighter shade of the same color. Turnpikes are marked with solid parallel lines, and "common" roads with dotted lines. Places of public worship and courthouses are also marked, with small circles. The lines and symbols are explained in the "References" list below the map. Elevation is depicted with hachure marks.
