Publication History and Census The Scarborough Company created and published this map in 1903. It replaced an earlier 1901-1902 map bundling Massachusetts with Connecticut and Rhode Island. We see no issues postdating 1903. However, we do see a photo-facsimile of the map issued in 1990 at the Leventhal Center of the Boston Public Library. We see perhaps 10 examples in OCLC (including the above 1990 facsimile), although physical holdings are somewhat difficult to parse due to the over-cataloging of digital-only resources.
