This scarce pocket map by civil engineer R. Whiteford presents the city of New Haven in plan form. There is excellent detail of the city's streets and railroads, and sites of interest such as Yale College, the State House, the city burial ground, and the state hospital are noted. A key at bottom right identifies 42 other notable buildings. Engraved and published by Lemuel Swift Punderson. The map is detached from black cloth covers with gilt title.
