Antique Boston, Massachusetts 1956 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Quincy, Cambridge, Somerville, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester Milton MA

Beautiful, antique map of Boston, Massachusetts. This is an authentic 1956 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Suffolk, Norfolk, and Middlesex Counties looked like more than 60 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time outside of urbanized areas. 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 1956, printed 1956
