ON PAPER MEASURING 15 1/2 X 26 1/2 INCHES. THERE ARE SOME GREAT IMAGES AND LOCATIONS ON THE MAP. GREAT LITTLE PENCIL TREES DOT THE PERIMETER OF THE TREE AND A MUCH BETTER DRAWN "ELM TREE BY WALL" IS COOL. THERE IS ALSO THE TURNPIKE CREATED IN 1804 AS WELL AS THE OLD POST ROAD FROM PROVIDENCE TO BOSTON - PERHAPS EARLY 95. LAID DOWN ON LINEN, THIS HAS HELPED TO REPAIR SOME ORIGINAL TEARS.
