Description
Beautiful, antique map of Wickford, Rhode Island & surrounding Washington & Newport County area on Narragansett Bay. This is an authentic 1944 print from the U.S. Geological Survey & NOT a computer reproduction. See what Rhode Island looked like over 75 years ago. Lots of intricate details & geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols & map guide. Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Has some wear, toning, a light stamp in upper right margin area, & folds as-issued, but these will flatten easily & all will all add to authentic vintage character when framed. There is also a small corner piece missing in the upper left margin area, but this is easily concealable when framed by placing a similar-colored paper behind the map, as seen in photos.
