Looks interesting!   Ejt Posted on Sunday, July 22, 2001 - 12:55 am:        Look closely, it's not even the entire town. A complete rip-off.   Spw784 Posted on Sunday, July 22, 2001 - 2:21 am:        Okay. Thanks. Not being a Maplewood resident, I didn't realize it wasn't complete. (I work in town).   Bobk Posted on Sunday, July 22, 2001 - 4:31 am:        Actually, in 1910 that was about all there was to Maplewood. Most of what are now the Clinton and Tuscan areas were agricultural land. A good portion of what people call Midland Park was an orchard. There was a separate settlement along Springfield Ave. called, if memory serves, Hilton.   Ejt Posted on Sunday, July 22, 2001 - 11:02 am:        Nah, the map cuts off a section on the right. My parents house on Summit was built around 1900 and their neighborhood isn't on the map. I've got a copy of an engraving of Jefferson Village(now Maplewood) from 1815 that shows a much bigger area.   Extuscan Posted on Monday, July 23, 2001 - 8:58 am:        This is a copy of a Library of Congress map that is available online. Someone recently posted a link to it on here... My SUSPICION is that is was downloaded, printed, and laminated. John
