Description
Beautiful, antique map of Westerly, Rhode Island & surrounding New Haven County, Connecticut area. This is an authentic 1893 edition, 1914 print from the U.S. Geological Survey & NOT a computer reproduction. See what the Connecticut & Rhode Island coastline looked like over 130 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! Reverse side is blank. At some point in the past the map was mounted on a thicker canvas. Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
