A. County Map of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, dated 1862 (14.0 x 11.6"). County configuration is up-to-date, with the readjusted Massachusetts-Rhode Island border depicted. Condition: There is minor soiling and several small chips and short edge tears in the blank margins, two of which just enter the neatline at top. (A)
B. County and Township Map of the States of Massachusetts Connecticut and Rhode Island, dated 1881 (21.5 x 14.4").
