This is a superior copy, with vivid hand-drawn outline colors.

This pocket version of Colton's map of Connecticut and Long Island shows the entire state as well as the whole of Long Island, New York, Block Island, and the Long Island Sound. The map is identical to Colton's atlas map except it is printed on fine banknote-style paper. Cities, towns, forts, rivers, rapids, fords, and an assortment of additional topographical details are identified. Colton's signature spiral motif border surrounds the map.
