Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A black-and-white historical map shows a large state-shaped outline divided into a rectangular grid, with waterways, shoreline features, scattered handwritten annotations, and a compass rose at right. A narrow vertical line of printed text runs along the right edge, while additional handwritten notes appear around the map. The document is surrounded by a dark border and shows considerable aging, stains, and fading.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue record identifies the item as a photograph posted to a historical-society Facebook page on 2019-10-08. The supplied machine-generated description claims that the map dates from 1852 and was presented by John Quincy Adams, but those details are not established by the catalogue record itself.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Most handwritten labels and the small printed text along the right edge are too small or faint to transcribe reliably. The map's full title and provenance are not legible.
Rights and credit
Community source, no stated terms; published non-commercially with attribution and a link to the original post.
Credit this to Individual posters, credited per image when you use it.
Why this archive publishes it. Public Facebook groups and pages run by island organisations and residents. Each item credits the poster by name and links to the original post. Removal on request.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
