DescriptionMap of Connecticut, with the border of Massachusetts to the north, Rhode Island to the east, Long Island and the Long Island Sound to the south, and New York to the west. The state is divided into counties and towns, with turnpike roads, common roads, courthouses and churches included on the map. Elevation is conveyed through hachure marks. Below the map is text about Connecticut's natural features, history, towns and colleges and universities, as well as a population table.
