DescriptionSheet 1a 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. It extends from North Haven to the north, the Quinnipiac River to the east, Augerville to the south, and the New Haven and Northampton Railroad line to the west. 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." Additionally, some places beyond the area detailed are provided: Long Hill, Howard, and Howard 2, in the case of this map.
