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.

General Drafting handled the cartography from 1949 to 1960. Four-lane roads and divided highways (none shown here) were drawn in black-bordered red lines. Paved state highways were red, other roads, including merely surfaced routes, are gray.
    Route 129, the Merryall road decommissioned in 1963, was surfaced but unpaved. What's surprising is the inclusion of Route 134, which had not been shown on state maps since 1940. I do not know whether it was there all the time, was reinstated, was a hidden route, or is a typo.
    Route 130, whose death may have also been exaggerated, appears in gray elsewhere on this map, as well as routes 199, 132, and 108, which were presumably unpaved in 1949.
    The portion of Route 25 shown here became US 202 in 1974. Route 134 is now part of Route 109.

General Drafting brought color to the city maps, using the same road and route markings as on the main map. Here's a view of New Haven before the Connecticut Turnpike, I-91, and the Oak Street Connector freeways were built.
    Route 158 is now part of Route 122, which was moved. Route 15, the number given the previous year to the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways, was temporarily routed through New Haven until the Wilbur Cross was complete. Route 34's final stretch, simply called Boulevard, is abbreviated to a lost-context "BLVD."
    Route 80 crosses upper New Haven to end at Route 10. That routing would still be useful.
