2021 Map of New Haven

About this map

New Haven and the surrounding coastline are defined by the convergence of the Mill River, Quinnipiac River, and West River. This survey illustrates a densely populated urban corridor where institutional history is deeply rooted, anchored by the Yale School of Medicine and University of New Haven. The landscape is physically divided by the Metacomet Ridge, which forces transportation through the West Rock Tunnel. Cultural and genealogical depth is evident in the numerous historic burying grounds, ranging from the Grove Street Cem near the city center to the Saint Bernards and several Jewish memorial parks such as Bnai Jacob Memorial Park. The coastal edge reveals the industrial and maritime infrastructure of City Point and the aviation hub of Tweed-New Haven Airport, while inland areas like Westville and Allingtown show the expansion of residential and educational districts away from the harbor.
