Antique New high quality London, Connecticut 1893 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Groton, Waterford, Coast Guard, Southold, Fisher Island, Lyme CT
Beautiful, antique map of historic New London, Connecticut and surrounding area, including Fisher Island of New York. This is an authentic 1893 edition, 1915 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what the Connecticut Coast on Long Island Sound 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! Map is canvas-backed.
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.
