Connecticut is shown here through its industrial towns and its academic reputation, the two identities that most shaped the state's popular image in the 1930s.

Smaller towns are each given their own illustration tied to a specific local product or trade. Together the factory imagery and the Yale reference sketch a Connecticut defined by the pairing of industrial manufacturing with an established academic tradition.

Gamble of Philadelphia and published in 1870 within Mitchell's New General Atlas, one of the best-known American atlas series of the mid-nineteenth century, issued jointly here by S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr. and the Chicago publisher R.A. Campbell. The sheet is hand colored county by county and finished with relief shown by hachures and an ornate floral border, a decorative treatment distinct from the plainer outline-color atlases many rival publishers favored. It covers the compact cluster of southern New England states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, together with their settlements, railroads, and rivers. By 1870 all three states stood as long-established, densely populated centers of American industry, their economies increasingly knit together by the railroad network this map takes care to record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoston appears as the commercial and cultural capital of Massachusetts, its harbor long the busiest in New England and its rail lines radiating outward to every corner of the region. Hartford, seated on the Connecticut River, is marked as Connecticut's capital and a center of the insurance trade that was already making the city's name synonymous with underwriting. Providence, at the head of Narragansett Bay, appears as Rhode Island's leading port and manufacturing town, its textile mills among the most productive in the country. The map also records Long Island Sound and Massachusetts Bay along the coastline, together with the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket lying off the Massachusetts shore. Taken together, this stretch of coast and its three capitals capture southern New England at the height of its nineteenth-century industrial and maritime power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis map makes a fitting gift for anyone with family ties to Boston, Hartford, or Providence, or for a collector building a set of nineteenth-century New England county maps.

Major buildings and institutions central to city life are recorded throughout the map. High Hill Cemetery is marked as a named landmark within the mapped area.
