DescriptionMap of the city and town of Hartford, Connecticut, oriented east-west on the map with the Connecticut River at the bottom. The towns of Bloomfield and Windsor form the boundary to the north, the river to the east, Wethersfield (spelled "Weathersfield" on the map) to the south, and West Hartford to the west. The city is divided into sections lettered from A to X, and the town, divided from the city by the city line, is divided into two lettered sections, AA and BB. Local roads are labeled, and cemeteries, hospitals, Trinity College and Bushnell Park are colored green. The Connecticut Valley; New York and New England; and New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroads run through the city and town. On the right side of the map are three business notices, one for S.J. Bestor, Notary Public; I. Altman, realtor; and Fracis & Co., hardware dealers.
