2015 Map of New Haven

About this map

New Haven and its coastal surroundings are defined by the convergence of the Mill River, Quinnipiac River, and West River as they enter New Haven Bay. This 2015 perspective illustrates the dense urban and academic core, dominated by the campus of Yale Univ and historic burial grounds like Grove Street Cem and the New Haven Crypt Cem. The terrain is punctuated by significant geological formations, including the West Rock Ridge, which is pierced by the West Rock Tunnel, and the prominent Metacomet Ridge. To the south, the shoreline of Long Island Sound reveals a complex mix of industrial and residential zones, from City Point and the Tweed-New Haven Airport to the recreational stretches of Savin Rock and Sea Bluff. Educational institutions like the Univ of New Haven and Southern Connecticut State Univ are deeply integrated into the suburban fabric of West Haven and Allington, while numerous bridges such as the Tomlinson Bridge facilitate the regional transport network.
