2018 Map of New Haven

About this map

New Haven and the surrounding coastline of the Long Island Sound appear here as a densely developed educational and maritime hub. The presence of Yale University and its School of Medicine anchors the city center, which is framed by historical burial grounds such as the Grove Street Cemetery and the New Haven Crypt Cemetery. To the west, the landscape rises toward the Metacomet Ridge and West Rock Ridge, with the West Rock Tunnel providing a critical passage through the traprock cliffs. The shoreline is defined by a complex network of points and bars, including Wigwam Neck and Sandy Point Flats, while New Haven Harbor serves as the focal point for the region's river-and-sea commerce. Residential growth is evident in established neighborhoods like Spring Glen, Westville, and Fair Haven, while the southern reaches of West Haven extend toward the notable Savin Rock Bluff.
