DescriptionContour map of Brainard Forest in West Hartford, Connecticut, with Route 44 to the north. Lines and colors are used to denote various land features, including knolls; depressions and pits; dry ditches; roads, trails and paths; fences; stone walls; buildings; boulders; stony ground; cliffs; lakes; streams; swamps; clearing; logged areas; and power lines. Reservoirs 2, 3, and 5 are shown. An inset map on the left shows the greater area. Below this is a sketch of a man wearing a road race number stepping off a cliff as he drops a rolled up piece of paper (presumably a map) behind him.
