Pair of nice little maps of part of New England. First includes a large inset plan of Boston with excellent detail of mountains, rivers, roads, lakes, towns, and a host of other information. Second is based on Cotton Mather's influential history of New England, which detailed the religious and political development of the region from 1620 to 1698. Mather was highly influential in both secular as well as religious matters and was one of the leaders responsible for the Salem witch trials. The map shows only two roads with settlement confined along rivers and the coastline. The pair provide an interesting comparison of the regions between 1697 and 1832.
