by [F. W. Beers]
New York: F. W. Beers, A. D. Ellis & G. G. Soule, 1868. A one page map in good condition measuring approximately 14 1/2 by 22 inches (border to border) being page 10 removed from the original Beers' Atlas of New Haven County of 1868. A business advertising directory appears for West Haven and a small inset of Orange on a scale of 40 rods to the inch. A highly detailed, hand colored map showing the placement and relative size and shape of buildings in West 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. The map is drawn to a scale of 500 feet to the inch. There is a separation across the middle of the map (from where it was bound-in to the atlas) with several 1/3" deep chips as we, as well as heavy 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 #: TB22979)
