Beautiful, antique map of the northern section of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, including Ligonia, Browns Hill and Turner's Island. This is an authentic map taken from F.W. Beer's Atlas of Cumberland top County published in 1871 and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Maine looked like more than 145 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including main roads, hills, rivers, ponds, houses, a business directory and the names of property owners at the time. Hand colored. Verso is blank.
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.
