Antique 1893 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 1893 edition, 1918 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what these towns on Mount Hope Bay looked like over 120 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! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.
