Description
A manuscript map, formerly known as map #55-2, shows a proposed border for Woolwich and modern-day Dresden (then Pownalborough). The map portrayed the coastline of Woolwich, with both the Kennebec River and part of the Sasanoa River bordering it. It also highlighted Nequasset Pond and Mounsweeeg River. The map included and illustrated the lots of Job Laws and Nathaniel Thwing with drawings. This map is part of a larger archive, the Plymouth Company (1749-1816) records.
