Notes:
Information
from the Connecticut DOT indicates that maps prior to 1932 were intended for
internal use only, and not distributed to the public.
Maps
from 1950 to 1977-78 were issued jointly by various combinations of state
departments and commissions, with each participant listed on the front cover.
Many variants exist within a given year, with the specific department's or
commission's return address listed on the back. From 1979 to the present, the
full listing does not appear on the front cover, but the specific agency's
return address is listed on the back. A list of known agencies appears below
along with the observed years. Some varieties also exist with earlier maps,
such as a 1941 map with "State Highway Department" only on the cover,
vs. "Distributed by State Development Commission."
