DescriptionMap of the western New England states, from the Vermont-Canada border to the north, the border of New Hampshire to the east, the Long Island Sound to the south, and New York State to the west. The Farmington Canal and Hampshire and Hampden Canal are shown running through Connecticut and Massachusetts, with their proposed continuation through New Hampshire and Vermont to the border with Canada. To the right of the map there is an elevation profile of the canals. Other waterways, such as the Connecticut River, are shown, as are mountains, conveyed through hachure marks, and lakes. The states are divided into counties and towns, both delineated with lines that are defined in the Explanation list. Population centers are shown as clusters of small closed squares, and turnpikes and local roads are also depicted.
