DescriptionMap of 619 numbered house lots in Barnardville, Connecticut, from Foster Street to the north, William Avenue to the west, Woodland Street to the south, and Stetson Street to the west. Some of the lots have measurements, mostly likely in feet. South of Bradford Street is a park with paths and a pond, and a broken line running through the center of the park indicates the location of an aqueduct. Within the image area, but outside of the numbered lots, are several vignettes depicting different houses and what appears to be a church. On the left side is an eight-point compass and north arrow.
