DescriptionSheet 4a 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 shows Lake Saltonstall, with Cherry Hill to the east, East Haven to the southwest, and the Shore Line Division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad crossing the lake at the bottom. 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: Branford Congregational Church in the case of this map.
