Antique 1885 Fall River, Massachusetts US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Sakonnet River, Swansea, Westport & Tiverton, Rhode Island, MA

Beautiful, antique map of Fall River and surrounding area including, Swansea, Dartmouth and Somerset Massachusetts and Tiverton, Rhode Island on the Sakonnet River. This is an authentic 1885 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what these towns on Mount Hope Bay looked like over 130 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. 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.
