DESCRIPTION: Connecticut by Thomas G. Bradford. This finely engraved map made in 1838 comes from his An Illustrated Atlas, Geological, Statistical, and Historical View of the World, a work designed to educate and inform in the early 19th century. Engraved by G.W. Boynton, it showcases the state's counties, towns, and transportation routes at a time when Connecticut was evolving from its colonial roots into a hub of industry and commerce. Maps like this weren’t just for navigation—they were essential tools for understanding geography, trade, and settlement patterns, offering a snapshot of the state before the rapid expansion of railroads and modern infrastructure.
