DescriptionMap of Connecticut, from the border of Massachusetts to the north, Rhode Island to the east, the north shore of Long Island and the Long Island Sound to the south, and New York State to the west. Four- and two-lane state roads are depicted in red, with four- and two-lane state aid roads in green and unimproved state roads in red and white. Other roads are shown as two parallel lines, and scenic roads as parallel lines with black dots between them. U.S. and state highways are numbered. Other kinds of transportation infrastucture depicted include ferry routes, railroads, airports and lighthouses. The locations of "scenic places" and "good views" are denoted with symbols, as are historic buildings, forts and battlefields, sites of Native American history and industrial history, old mines and quarries, and areas of geological or botanical interest. The sizes of the names of cities correspond to their population, with larger cities appearing in larger type.
