About this map

New Haven radiates from its historic center toward the coast in this late nineteenth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial expansion and maritime commerce. The city’s core is flanked by the towering precipices of West Rock Ridge and East Rock, while the Quinnipiac River winds through tidal marshes into the busy New Haven Harbor. To the south, the coastline is dotted with landmarks like Savin Rock and the coastal defenses of Fort Hale, alongside dozens of named islands such as the Thimble Islands.
