Maps of the Region

New England from Massachusetts northward, upstate New York & adjacent Canada, including Montreal & Quebec City. 

Includes most of New Hampshire, Vermont, northeastern New York & adjacent Quebec and New Brunswick; shows railroads, stations & distances between. 

French edition of Carey & Lea. Reference: Thompson (CT) 71. 

Not all towns have been formed yet. North-south railroads are evident, but the Shore Line only goes as far as New Haven. The Farmington Canal is prominent. Population is tabulated by county and from 1701 on for the state. Two insets of the Hartford and New Haven areas.

Border is at the height of land; 5 vertical counties; the interior is not well known. Reference: Wheat & Brun 175. 

9 counties, with far northern frontier reflecting U.S. claims. Reference: Phillips (A) 6054-7. 

Shows marine & much shore detail, including Portland streets & buildings; recognition view; inset of approaches. 

This is a chart for use. Full land detail near coastal waters; includes Casco Bay & Portland approaches; Cape Elizabeth recognition view. 

A nicely detailed map of southern New England.  The roads network is easily understood in the present context. Railroads are beginning, but are absent along the shoreline. Canals are shown. A few county and state boundaries remain to be straightened out, as with East Providence in Massachusetts. 

The rail network is well advanced; several canals appear, including the Farmington; distances are shown along some roads. Inset of Boston with streets named; the Back Bay has yet to be filled. County populations are tabulated for both states. 

Extends from Bridgeport to Boston; shows early railroads in place and proposed lines from New London northward; some liberties are taken with town lines. 

This is one of the first series of 15' quadrangles. Based on surveys of 1887, this map cover all but the western extremities of the island. Familiar features appear in the street pattern of the town, but homesteads elsewhere are sparse. The railroad to Siasconset is indicated. Of special interest is the "Haulover Break" through to the ocean at the northeastern extremity of the harbor.  

Chart shows the difficult Merrimack River entrance with soundings, Plum Island and a block plan of Newburyport. 

Marine & complete land detail of the extremity of Cape Cod. 

Complete marine and land detail of the area now occupied by the Oceanographic Institute and Marine Biological Laboratory and nearby Naushon, where a large building appears, at a scale of 1:20,000. With sailing directions, character of bottom and tide characteristics.

5 counties; shows roads, mountains, rivers & lakes; the northern extremities vague. 

School wall map on linen with ribbon edging & original hanging rings; numbers & letters instead of place names. 

Many towns and settlements are labeled, all connected with a substantial road network. No railroads are present. The New Hampshire-Canadian border is inaccurate, even though the relevant streams in the area appear.   

Roads are shown throughout both states, often with distances from place to place. The rail network developing. Population s are tabulated for both states by counties, with county towns noted, and also at earlier dates. In 1850, the populations of both states were almost the same at a bit over 300,000.  

Shows town & county lines, major roads. 

RHODE ISLAND. Charles T. Jackson. "A Geological Map of Rhode Island". 1840. In Report of the Geological and Agricultural Survey of the State of Rhode-Island, made under a resolve of Legislature in the Year 1839, along with a sheet of geological sections. Map is 20½ x 12"; sections are 11 x 17". Map has full wash color. Both are on onion-skin paper and fold into the volume. The octavo volume has 312 pages with some black & white plates. Condition: Map and sections have no fold tears; map has a bit of time toning; otherwise both are excellent. The book is a different story: front marbled cover and first two sheets are detached; rear hinge going; spine almost entirely gone; remarkably tight from title page on; some light waterstains at bottom of pages and light scattered foxing. A good candidate for quality restoration. 

A well executed map with many relatively minor natural features identified such as streams and rivers, ledges, swamps, areas of peat, gneiss and slate outcrops. Cultural features also appear, including mills, factories, hotels, the Stonington Railroad and the "Ninigret Indians Reserve Lands". The major geological surface features are coded in wash color and the map and the sections. 

Many towns identified. 

Map shows town lines, major roads, waterways, lakes and principal high ridges. Part First is the Natural History of Vermont, including descriptive physical geography and the flora and fauna of the state. Part Second is the Civil History of Vermont, and includes reference to the various institutions and a list of newspapers and books published. Part Third is a Gazetteer of the state with a bit about many, if not all towns. Every lover of the Green Mountain State should have this book.
