Antique Guilford, Connecticut 1893 US Geological Survey hotsell Topographic Map – Madison, Clinton, Killingworth, Durham, Haddam, Saybrook, Coast CT
Beautiful antique map of the Connecticut Coast on Long Island Sound.
Beautiful, antique map of the Connecticut Coast on Long Island Sound. 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. 27.)
See what Guilford, New Haven & Middlesex County looked like more than 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!
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.
