1892 Map of New Haven

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

New Haven Harbor serves as the focal point for this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic geological ridges and an expanding rail network. The city's dense urban grid transitions into smaller outlying settlements like Whitneyville, Centerville, and Montowese, connected by several branches of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad. The topography is dominated by the trap rock formations of West Rock Ridge and East Rock, with Judges Cave noted as a distinct landmark.
