DescriptionPocket map of Connecticut, with part of Massachusetts to the north, part of Rhode Island to the east, part of Long Island and the Long Island Sound to the south, and part of New York to the west. The state is divided into eight counties, each outlined in either green, yellow, blue, pink or orange. Town divisions are denoted with lines, not colors. Counties and towns are both labeled. Cities are denoted with groups of black squares. The locations of houses of worship and courthouses are marked with symbols. There are numbers representing districts, although it is unclear what the districts themselves represent. Physical features include elevation, conveyed through hachure marks; rivers; and lakes. On the left side is a list of governors from 1665-1831. At the bottom of the sheet are inset maps of New Haven, Hartford, and the New England states.
