    I bought an old town map today. Maybe someone can help with age. Has a few surrounding towns included and the back look canvas-sy. I don't see any dates on this map.

    It's southwestern Rhode Island if anyone cares. It's smack on the CT/RI border and what's there now is...not much, unless you count I95.

    A close-up of that big town would probably be more helpful.

    Ok found some things on the map. In Westerly RI Woody Hill Reservation(Woody Hill Management was called a Reservation from 1934 until it was formally s State forest in 1942.

    Carolina Reservation after the 1675 Great Swamp massacre and the the historic tribal lands were actioned off during the 19th century detribalization.

    NYNY and Hartford RR had tracks in town that were used from 1872-1968.
    Also Pendleton Hill School in North Stonington CT ran from 1895-1955.
    Burlingame Reservation in Charlestown RI, late 20's until in transitioned to a state park. So I think I have a 1920-1930s map.

    Looks like linen/muslin backing on it. I found an undated old globe here a while back-why some of these aren't dated is a mystery to me .

    Found an image of the system map from 1929. The one I have is a copy of 1878.
