Branford & Branford Point Connecticut 1868 Beers township map Long Island Sound

Branford - Branford Point.

(North America, United States, New England, Connecticut, New Haven County, Branford, Branford Point, Thimble islands, Long Island Sound, Shore Line Railroad, Detailed City Plan).

Issued 1868, New York by F.W. Beers.

Uncommon and detailed mid 19th century lithographed map with original hand color.

Very detailed with countless home owners named, great for genealogical research.

Paper shows a lovely age patina, and is uniformly age toned, some old damp staining along the edges, the edges now slightly brittle. This fragile map will require careful handling, but remains worthy of framing and display.

Sheet Measures c. 13 3/4" x 16".

Printed Area Measures c. 12"  x 14" W.
