The Map Inside: the Connecticut Officials

I scanned each map at 150 dpi to keep them consistent and show detail. The scans may appear larger than life (up to 2x) depending on your monitor.

State maps did not include city insets until 1941, so we instead show a double-wide main map sample of the Hartford area. This map predates the "Great Renumbering" of 1932 and shows the different route numbering system in place at the time. For example, Route 17 west of Hartford is now US 44, and Route 116 is part of today's Route 10.
    The map features three-color overprinting on a black and white base: blue for water, red for trunk line (primary) routes, and green for state aid routes. We can see that not all state aid routes appear to be numbered; state responsibility is discontinuous, especially through cities; and some highways (like Route 160) are a mix of classification and pavement type. (See the map legend).
    This map has no cover at all; the back is completely blank.
