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 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.
