The original of this map is 25 1/2" X 35 1/2", so much detail was lost when reduced to fit the scanner. The title reads "Map of Building Lots in the City of New Haven Belonging to the Heirs of GERARD HALLOCK, Decd. Surveyed Nov. 1867 by Wm. Hartley C.E., Dep. Surveyor General." This is a surveyor's map, so Hallock & Greenwich Aves. & the numbered cross sts. had not yet been constructed. Many of the corner lots facing the Aves. soon were subdivided by developers to build small houses facing the cross sts. [like the one your editor lives in!]. See next 2 images for a somewhat larger view of each half:
