WHC 2018.35Description
A PLAN OF THE TOWN OF CAMBDEN IN THE COUNTY OF LINCOLN IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
MAY 1795. SURVEYED. [Attributed to John Harkness, Surveyor, of Camden. The handwriting compares with his writing on the copy of his signed 1799 "MAP OF CAMBDEN."] It depicts boundaries, roads, water features, and mountains. This map appears to have been drafted in response to the Massachusetts General Court request to all Massachusetts towns for a surveyed map of the town. Those maps were gathered for use in drafting Osgood Carleton's map of Massachusetts and "MAP OF THE DISTRICT OF MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS," published in 1802. This image is a photocopy on heavy stock. The original is at the Camden-Rockport Historical Society.Collection
