DescriptionBlueprint of a proposed block layout east of the new Knollwood development in Fenwick, Old Saybrook, Connecticut, with South Cove to the north, Park Avenue to the east, the Long Island Sound to the south, and an unnamed road to the west. There are five roads running north-south, with one running east-west, and undivided blocks of land in between. The width measurements in feet are provided for the roads and blocks, and the area in acres for one block which presumably applies to the others.
