DescriptionSheet 3a 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 Montowese to the north, the Quinnipiac River and Boston and New York Air Line Railroad to the east, Prospect Hill to the south, and Lake Whitney to the west. The Mill River is also depicted, flowing south from Lake Whitney. 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 landmarks beyond the area detailed are provided: Yale College Spire, the Observator, the west spire of St. Paul's Church and Brewster's Cupola, in the case of this map.
