New York: F. W. Beers, A. D. Ellis & G. G. Soule, 1868. A one page map in near fine condition measuring approximately 24 3/4 by 21 1/4 inches (border to border) being page 20 removed from the original Beers' Atlas of New Haven County of 1868. The main part of the map is drawn to a scale of 400 feet to the inch showing the town of Fair Haven on both sides of the Quinnipiack River. A business directory for Fair Haven also appears in the lower right corner of the map listing attorneys, physicians, boarding, merchants, livery stables, ship builders, miscellaneous (truncated) and oyster dealers. Overall this is a highly detailed, hand colored map showing the placement and relative size and shape of buildings in Fair 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. This map makes a fine decorative item when matted and framed; as well as being a perfect genealogical resource for local history. (Inventory #: TB22981)
