Portland Gildersleeve Riverdale CT 1874 Maps with Homeowners Names Shown

Description

This is a 3 map set which shows where many of the homeowners resided in Portland, Connecticut in 1874. These fine maps were recently reproduced on fine natural color parchment. They're 11"x 17" and suitable to fit a standard size frame or can be matted to fit a larger museum quality mat. Contained on the maps are finely detailed locations of the homeowners of Portland which includes the villages of Gildersleeves, Riverdale and Fogelmarks Corners. Because of the large areas covered by the maps, many of the names of the homeowners are quite small. Due to the limited size of my scanner bed, portions of the maps may not be shown. Please check out the pictures provided for greater detail.
The first map shows the entire Town of Portland.
The second map shows the Village or center of Portland
The third map shows the Village of Gildersleeves.
Truly a great matching set. It's hard to make out the specifics from my poor picture however it's clearly detailed on the actual maps! Some of the surnames which are printed are Davis, Post, Bartlett, Rathbone, Goodrich, Wells, Wilson, Powers, Pelton, Kelsey and so many more that it's impossible to list! Also indicated on the maps are schools, named streets, railroads and rivers/streams.
It would indeed make quite a conversation piece as well as an excellent gift for that person who has everything!
What a great genealogical treasure to be able to locate the homes of one or more of your ancestors!  Multiple purchases can be combined for one shipping charge!  Please check out my other listings for many other fine old town maps!
If you own a business such as automobile dealership, auto repair, hair salon, barber shop, restaurant, bar or night club these would surely add a piece of nostalgia and history. If you are a professional such as a doctor, surgeon, attorney, lawyer, dentist, veterinarian, realtor, accountant or genealogist, your clients or patients would be amazed. I have many more maps available from CT, MA, NY, PA, RI and NJ which are currently not listed but can be made available.
