About this map

New Haven and its surrounding harbor communities are defined by a dense urban core and significant educational institutions. The campus of Yale University occupies a central position, adjacent to the historic Grove Street Cem and the Trinity Church on the Green. The map illustrates the city’s complex geography, where the Quinnipiac River and Mill River meet at New Haven Harbor, creating distinct peninsulas like City Point and the prominently named Dragon Point.

To the west and north, the landscape rises toward the Metacomet Ridge, providing a topographical backdrop to neighborhoods like Westville and Allingtown. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous specialized burial grounds, including the Mishkan Israel Cem and Saint Lawrence Cem. The infrastructure of West Haven and East Haven is shown in detail, tracing the transition from the industrial harbor flats to residential areas like Morris Cove and Sea Bluff.
