The state is divided into counties, which are labeled and delineated with broken solid lines, and towns, which are also labeled and delineated with solid lines. "Leading roads," common roads, canals and railroads are the transportation routes shown, marked with different lines. The locations of courthouses, churches and taverns are also shown and marked with different symbols. Natural features include elevation, conveyed with hachure marks, ponds and lakes, islands and points. In the bottom right corner are two inset maps of Hartford and New Haven.
