Antique Meriden, Connecticut 1893 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Burlington, Farmington, Southington, Bristol New Britain Wolcott CT

Beautiful, antique map of Meriden, Farmington, Bristol and New Britain, Connecticut and surrounding area. This is an authentic 1893 print taken from the "Topographical Atlas of the State of Connecticut" by the U.S. Geological Survey and is NOT a computer reproduction. (Plate No. 18.)

See what Hartford, Litchfield & New Haven County looked like over 125 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.

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 1893, printed 1893

Condition: Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being over 125 years old. Some edge-wear, spotting, toning and warble from atlas, but this will add to vintage character when framed. I have kept the thin margin of paper on the left where the map was attached to the atlas—this piece can be removed or folded behind the print.
