Unlike the broad town views on this board, this map zooms in on South Weymouth, a village within the town of Weymouth in Norfolk County. Bird's-eye views like this were popular in the late 19th century, when artists drew streets, houses, and business blocks from a high oblique angle, as if seen from a hilltop or balloon. Such maps were often sold to residents and local businesses, so they document not only the layout of the streets but also the civic pride of the community. Looking closely at the rooftops and rail lines can show how a small village connected to the wider region during that period of growth.
