by [F. W. Beers]
New York: F. W. Beers, A. D. Ellis & G. G. Soule, 1868. A one page map in near fine condition measuring approximately 12 by 15 inchese (border to border) being page 18 removed from the original Beers' Atlas of New Haven County of 1868. The main part of the map is drawn to a scale of 2 inches to the mile showing the districts of New Haven to include Fair Haven, West District, North District, East District and South District. There is an inset to the right of Saltonstall Lake showing the downtown area of East Haven in a larger; but un-noted, scale. Overall this is a highly detailed, hand colored map showing the placement and relative size and shape of buildings in downtown East Haven with each property identified with its borders and the names of the owner or business in residence. Roads, paths, railroad lines, town borders, streams and rivers are shown. There is light chipping around the margins outside of the decorative borders. This map makes a fine decorative item when matted and framed; as well as being a perfect genealogical resource for local history. (Inventory #: TB22980)
