Item description from seller

Good. Wear and toning along original fold lines. Verso reinforcements to separations at fold intersections. Slight loss at a few fold intersections. Accompanied by original binder. Size 36.5 x 26.5 Inches. A detailed large-format sectional pocket map of New England, based on an 1883 map by G.W. and C.B. Colton and published in 1884 by Thomas R. Johnson in Boston. A Closer Look Covering the entirety of New England, along with portions of New York and Canada, states are color-shaded for easy distinction. County and town boundaries are drawn with both labeled; in northern Maine, much of the land remains unincorporated. Mountains, waterways, railways, islands, and other features are indicated throughout. A grid overlays the map, creating 321 squares representing 20 square miles each. At right is a table of distances by rail from towns throughout New England and Upstate New York to New York City, Hartford, Providence, Boston, Montpelier, Concord (New Hampshire), and Augusta. A large inset map at right displays the eastern portion of Massachusetts, including Boston, on an enlarged scale (350,000). Longitude lines are provided from both Greenwich and Washington, D.C. The table of distances and density of rail lines reflect their dominance as a means of transportation at this time, even into mountainous and heavily forested parts of northern New England, which supported a growing tourism industry in the late 19th century. Publication History and Census This map was drawn, engraved, and printed by G.W. and C.B. Colton in New York and published by Thomas R. Johnson in Boston in 1884. It is noted in the OCLC among the holdings of the American Antiquarian Society, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Northwestern University, and Duke University.
