DescriptionPictorial map of Connecticut, depicting state parks. Cities are named and portrayed as built-up clusters of buildings, while elevation is depicted with groups of arrows. The drawings illustrating the state parks symbolize an event that took place there, characterize the name, depict the scenery or portray a popular activity. To the left of the map is a list of the state parks and forests, including their locations and acreage. Highways are included on the map but not labeled, and many of them have a small representation of a car driving along some portion. South of the state, in the Long Island Sound, a steamboat, three-masted sailing vessel, and what appears to be a tugboat pulling another boat behind it. In the bottom right corner is a compass.
