DescriptionSheet 1 of an 11-sheet map of the New Haven, Connecticut, area, primarily conveying the topography, geographical coordinates and different types of land in the area. Land divisions are indicated with dotted lines, and what are presumably roads are indicated with solid parallel lines. Contour lines indicate elevation with the height of the hill provided in feet. Buildings appear to be shown with small rectangular shapes, either shaded or marked with an "x." Settlements are named and marked with circles. Additionally, some places beyond the area detailed are provided: Brethren, Giant's Head and Mt. Carmel, in the case of this map.
