DescriptionPocket map of Connecticut and Rhode Island, with the borders of Massachusetts to the north and east, Long Island and the Long Island Sound to the south, and the border of New York to the west. Main and branch railroad lines, predominantly of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (marked N.H.), are prominently depicted on the map, with stations marked in circles and figures that are probably distances between stations shown. The other railroad line shown is the Central New England. Interurban trolley routes and steam boat routes in the Long Island Sound and Narragansett Bay are also shown. On the inside covers and back of the map are hotel directories by town for Connecticut and Rhode Island that contain information about hotels' rates, the town's population, the hotels' locations, and the local industry. Following the directories are lists of cities in each state having populations of less than 5,000, and lists of the legal holidays. On the back of the cover is a guide for how to use the map.
