Connecticut: shape, counties and terrain

Connecticut spans about 100 miles from east to west and 74 miles from north to south, with 4,842 square miles of land. Its outline is irregular: the state fills only 67% of the box drawn around it on the map. The Census boundary file draws it as 11 separate land areas, only one of them larger than 100 square miles.

Connecticut has 9 planning regions. The largest by land area is Capitol Planning Region (1,027 sq mi) and the smallest is Greater Bridgeport Planning Region (140 sq mi). The capital, Hartford, sits at 51 ft downtown (USGS).

Elevation runs from sea level along the Long Island Sound to 2,380 ft (725 m) at Mount Frissel on south slope at State line in Litchfield County, a range of 2,380 ft. The sampled average is about 453 ft.

On the relief map's elevation grid, 3% of the state lies below 0 ft, 86% between 0 and 1,000 ft and 10% between 1,000 and 2,000 ft and under 1% above 2,000 ft. Split from south to north into thirds, the southern third averages 72 ft, the central third 371 ft and the northern third 704 ft, so the land is highest in the northern third and lowest in the southern third.

How teachers and students can use these maps

  • Blank map: label Hartford, the capital, and the largest cities, then check them against the cities map. Older students can draw in rivers or mountain ranges from an atlas.
  • County map: find your own county among the 9. The labeled version works as an answer key; the blank one as a quiz.
  • Cities map: Hartford to Stamford is about 65 miles in a straight line. Measure it with the scale bar and see how close you get.
  • Elevation map: find Mount Frissel on south slope at State line (2,380 ft) and the coast, at sea level, and work out the difference: 2,380 ft. Then use the legend to estimate the elevation of your town and check it with our elevation tool.
  • Printing: each map has a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. The PDFs are vector files, so lines and labels stay sharp at any size. The outline maps use very little ink in black and white.
