This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1958 edition, printed in 1960, with photorevisions from 1957 and 1958, and the sheet is in good condition on thick stock. Covering a six-by-nine-mile stretch southwest of Boston, the quad area takes in Norwood, Dedham, Westwood, and Canton, along with parts of Milton and neighboring towns in Norfolk and Suffolk counties. The 1957–1958 revisions capture the suburban growth spreading out from Boston in the late 1950s, making it an excellent historical reference for anyone with ties to these communities.
