The next guide page explains that onward travel from New Haven required rail to Wallingford or a trolley to Cheshire followed by a drive to Milldale.
Evidence, credit & reuse: Public domain in the United States: book published in Brooklyn in 1904; faithful scan. Route 47 is the guide’s itinerary number. The small illustration is labeled Norwalk, not New Haven. Historic anecdotes in unrelated paragraphs have not been independently verified and should not be recycled as factual captions. Resized and WebP compressed only; no historical content added, retouched or removed.

The next guide page explains that onward travel from New Haven required rail to Wallingford or a trolley to Cheshire followed by a drive to Milldale. The route guide prevents a misleading reading of a dense network map: a traveler still encountered gaps and changes of transport.
