• Abstract:
  • Map of Petersham with locations of stone walls and other fences (such as barbed wire), swales and swamps. Lyford noted that the base map was made for the blister rust control study by 6 men working independently and that the maps do not fit together exactly, probably because they were made by "pace and compass".
