DescriptionMap of Connecticut, with 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.

Elevation is conveyed with clusters of peaks that are shaded with hachure marks on one side, and other natural features include rivers, ponds, islands, harbors, and points. The map is surrounded by text blocks that describe Connecticut's physical features, population distribution, climate, higher education, government, and history.
