DescriptionMap of the state of Connecticut, with Massachusetts to the north, Rhode Island to the east, the Long Island Sound and the boundary line between Connecticut and New York to the south, and New York to the west. The state is divided into towns, counties and senatorial districts, with towns doubling as congressional districts and denoted with solid lines, while county divisions are represented by the use of pink, yellow or blue color. The 35 state senatorial districts are outlined in red and are numbered. To the left of the map is a list of the five (federal) congressional districts, with the county and, in some cases, the towns that make up the district. Below the main map are four inset maps of Waterbury, Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven, divided into wards and state senatorial districts. The following railroad lines are delineated on the map: New York, New Haven and Hartford; Ridgefield; Shepaug, Central New England; Western; Philadelphia Reading; New London Northern; Northern; and Boston and Hartford Air Line Railroads.
