Antique 1875 Bedford, Massachusetts Map from J.B. Beers Atlas of Middlesex County – Mount Pleasant, Groton, Reading, Nashua River, MA

Beautiful, antique map of detail of Bedford Town Center, Massachusetts. Opposite side are insets of Mount Pleasant, Reading, Massachusetts; Hollingsworths Paper Mill, Groton, Massachusetts; Nurseries of Reading, Massachusetts. This is an authentic map taken from J.B. Beer's Atlas of Middlesex County published in 1875 and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Bedford, Reading and Groton looked like more than 140 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including main roads, hills, rivers, ponds and the names of property owners at the time. Hand colored.

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.
