Antique Worcester, Massachusetts 1892 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Leominster, shops Boylston, Paxton, Holden, Wachusett Mountain, MA

Beautiful, antique map of the Worcester County, Massachusetts area, from Worcester up to Leominster and Wachusett Mountain. This is an authentic 1892 edition, 1917 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Worcester County looked like 130 years ago, before the Wachusett Reservoir was created. 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 1892, printed 1917
