This piece of history would look great framed or matted. Contained on the map are finely detailed locations of the homeowners of the town of Jewett City. There is also an inset map of the town of Lisbon which contains the villages of Newent and Blissville. Some of the points of interest or features of this map are Quinebaug River, Norwich & Worcester R.R., Hartford, Providence & Fishkill R.R., Shetucket River, Blissville Pond and Versailles Pond. Some of the surnames which are clearly printed are Couch, Lyon, Brown, Cole, Tayloy, Lee, Terry, Johnson, Young and so many more that it's impossible to list!
