The title on this 1889 piece is the name "ME Sanford," which in this collection most likely identifies the maker or publisher rather than a place or event, so the record itself leaves the subject open. Boston in the late 1880s was growing fast, with annexed districts, expanding rail lines and a rising population, and printed maps from that period were widely used by residents, businesses and real estate dealers to track streets and property. Maps of the era were usually engraved or lithographed and often carried the publisher's imprint, so the name is worth checking against cartographic references for details about how the work was produced.
