Item description from seller

Fair. Wear along original fold lines. Loss along fold lines and at fold intersections. Old repairs at fold intersections. Light toning. Printer's crease. Size 31.75 x 32.25 Inches. This is a rare 1873 G.W. and C.B. Colton railroad map of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. A Closer Look Coverage embraces Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, most of Vermont and New Hampshire, and the lower half of Maine and eastern New York. Townships throughout are shaded and labeled. Cities, towns, and villages are identified, along with mountains and lakes. Black lines highlight the railroad network, from major routes to small regional railroads, almost all of which are named. An inset along the right border depicts New England and Canada from Bennington, Vermont, to Newfoundland, including the Canadian Maritimes. Publication History and Census This map was created by J.H. Colton and published by his sons, G.W. and C.B. Colton, in 1873. We note 4 examples of the 1873 edition cataloged in OCLC: Yale University, the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History, Harvard University, and the Boston Public Library. Also, we note cataloged examples of editions published in 1862, 1866, 1871, 1886, and 1890. Due to cataloging inconsistencies, some of these other editions may represent examples of the 1873. We note only a handful of instances in the last decade when examples of any edition of this map appeared on the private market. References: OCLC 57396467.…
