Antique New Bedford, Massachusetts 1885 US Geological Survey Topographic order Map — Bristol County, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Mattapoiset Nonquitt MA

Beautiful, antique map of New Beford, Massachusetts and surrounding Bristol County area. This is an authentic 1885 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is an original, extremely rare printing of the very first preliminary sheet of the area.

See what Massachusetts looked like more than 130 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours order. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1885, printed 1885

Dimensions: 17" width x 21" height
