Beautiful, antique map of City of New Bedford, Massachusetts on the Acushnet River. This is an authentic map taken from F.W. Beer's Atlas of Bristol County published in 1871 and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Massachusetts looked like more than 145 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including main roads, hills, rivers, buying ponds and property owners' names at the time. Hand colored. Verso is blank.
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.
