Additional Details

An apparently undocumented intermediary edition of one of the earliest detailed maps of New Haven, here with an additional engraved contiguous lower sheet including City Point and Harbor soundings together with the main city plan.

The original 1830 and subsequent 1849 editions of the map are notably scarce; however no reference or records of the present 1836 edition could be located.
