Sudbury from Henry F. Walling's Map of Middlesex County, 1856

Henry F. Walling's Map of Middlesex County, 1856. This is a 5x5 foot map assembled from 4 quarters printed separately and assembled. This has great detail, but Sudbury is right in the middle and therefore has 4 different maps that never meet properly, althoe the BPL version seems best. There are TWO links: My Oddessey leading to the creation of the 2012 Walling1856Sudbury.jpg image.
