Descriptive map of Connecticut with heavily annotated marginalia. 

The map proper shows
Connecticut divided into color-coded counties, with part of Long Island. Topographical
detail is reserved for major waterways, mountains, and notable settlements.
Most uniquely, this map is surrounded by large marginalia that takes up nearly
half the map’s surface. This marginalia contains detailed descriptions pertaining
to various aspects of Connecticut’s geography, history, and statistics. From the
upper-left going anti-clockwise, these descriptions explore: location, agriculture,
hydrography, climate, demographics, chief settlements, commerce, education,
religion, government, notable battles, and an extended historical sketch.
