1921 Map of New Haven
USGS Topo · Published 1921About this map
The dense urban grid of New Haven radiates from the historic city center, showing a complex network of industrial and transport infrastructure at the start of the 1920s. This survey, updated with field work by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, captures the city just as its rail-and-trolley era reached its peak. The New York New Haven and Hartford rail lines branch across the landscape, including the Northampton Division and Shore Line Division, while the Totoket Electric Railway serves the outlying districts. To the south, the map details the bathymetry of New Haven Harbor, noting soundings and coastal landmarks like Savin Rock and Light House Pt.. The northern reaches transition into the distinct trap rock ridges of Mt. Carmel and West Rock, overlooking a valley shaped by the Quinnipiac River and dotted with mill-town settlements like Augerville and Montowese.
