Antique Antique Ayer, Massachusetts 1950 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Harvard, Littleton, Fort Devens, Boxborough, Shirley, MA

Beautiful, antique map of Ayer, Harvard and Fort Devens, Massachusetts and surrounding Middlesex County. This is an authentic 1950 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what eastern Massachusetts looked like over 70 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.

Edition of 1950, printed 1950

Dimensions: 22" width x 27" height
