For the compilation of a more accurate state map, each town (and the city of Boston) was required by Resolves 1829, c 50 to make a town plan based on a survey, to be submitted to the state secretary's office. Plans were to be drawn on a scale of one hundred rods to an inch and were to include rivers, waterways, public and private roads, places of public worship, courthouses, other public buildings, distant from town center to Boston, bridges and ferries, falls, ponds, shores, harbors, islands and hills, mills and manufactories, mines, iron works, meadows and woodlands.
