Additional Information
Massachusetts remains one of the oldest and most iconic states in America. It has a rich history dating back to the original arrival of the Puritans on the Mayflower, who landed on Plymouth Rock and established the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. The state was the home for much of the political discussion that would lead to the American Revolution and has remained a source for political thinkers and families to this day including dynastic political families like the Kennedy's whose policies and leadership shaped American history and culture. Cambridge, MA, is also home to Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in America and one of the nation's most recognized and prestigious universities.
By the time this map was published in 1970, Massachusetts had emerged as one of the most educated and affluent states in America. It had also solidified its place in the cultural fabric of the Northeast, exerting considerable influence on the region. The state's allure extends beyond its historical and political significance. The iconic Cape Cod and the Islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, with their pristine beaches and idyllic summer retreats, are among the most sought-after tourist destinations for Northeast residents. They offer a respite from the bustling city life, inviting visitors to bask in the cool evenings, warm afternoons, and clear waters.
This depiction illustrates the county boundaries and land divisions and bears a distinctive aesthetic that captures the state's timeless quality. It immediately transports the viewer in time and shows how much the nation and region have evolved since the original settlement.
