DescriptionSheet 4 of an 11-sheet map of the New Haven, Connecticut, area, primarily conveying the topography, geographical coordinates and different types of land in the area. It shows Fair Haven East, with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad line running through the town. Land divisions are indicated with dotted lines, and what are presumably roads are indicated with solid parallel lines. Contour lines indicate elevation with the height of the hill provided in feet. Buildings appear to be shown with small rectangular shapes, either shaded or marked with an "x." Additionally, some landmarks beyond the area detailed are provided: for example, Long Wharf Light, Bigelow's Chimney, and St. Paul's west spire, in the case of this map.
