notes
Shows boundaries and landowners.
Oriented with north to the right.
While dated 1795, the map shows the Boston to Concord, N.H. Turnpike, which was built in 1806. Barker likely pre-dated his map to comply with the Massachusetts General Court's order for towns to have maps made by 1795.
Manuscript on verso: Plan of Methuen, 1748, recorded Octr. 1st 1797, book 106, leaf 120 -- Boston, Jany. 20d, 1807.
