DescriptionSheet 6 of an 11-sheet map of New Haven, Connecticut, showing the town center and the immediate outlying areas. It extends from the Mill River to the north, the Quinnipiac River to the east, the harbor and Long Island Sound to the south, and the West River to the west. 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, shaded rectangular shapes. Additionally, some landmarks beyond the area detailed are provided: for example, the East Rock and buoys in the harbor, in the case of this map.
