DescriptionMap of the state of Connecticut, with Massachusetts to the north, Rhode Island to the east, the Long Island Sound to the south, and New York to the west. The state is divided into counties that are outlined in dotted lines and labeled. Population centers appear to be denoted with open circles, and there are symbols that probably indicate the location of courthouses or town halls. Elevation is depicted with clustes of peaks. Many small rivers are shown in addition to the Connecticut, Stratford (Housatonic), Thames and Quinebaug Rivers. Harbors, points, islands, reefs and ponds are also depicted.
