I have one of the original printed maps also, all framed up at my lake place. Most that are around where printed for the Boston and Maine Railroad. Some from 1903, more common ones are the 1909 and 1925 versions. They came folded in a marketing piece.

About 5 years ago they started selling reproductions of the map, you could find them all around the lake in gift shops for about $10.

The cool thing about this map is that it is on line, and you can zoom to the detail of the map that is hard to discern from the printed maps. Maybe I didn't explain myself.

Look here for the asking price for the 1925 version. You can see that these are the folded Boston and Maine Railroad brochures. The one I have is the same map but a 1909 edition. I found it on E-Bay for $37.00, guy didn't know what he had.

Here is an example of the "repos" that are around. Note.. no folds.

If you have a copy of the orginal "folded" map, not a repo... you did real good for your $10!
