About this map

New Haven Harbor serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century coastal survey, showing the city's dense grid just before the turn of the century. The landscape is defined by the dramatic trap rock ridges of West Rock Ridge and East Rock, which hem in the urban center and the winding Quinnipiac River. This era of development is marked by an extensive rail network, including the Air Line Division and the Northampton Div., which connected industrial nodes like Whitneyville and Fair Haven to the broader regional economy.
