HISTORY OP HAVERHILL. 105 erally known hy its present inhabitants; and even those who do knowsomething of former changes in its bounds, have but a vague idea of theirextent. The following map shows, not only its past and present bounds,but also those portions that have been from time to time taken off, informing new towns, and in running the present State line. There areseveral inaccuracies in the map, which were not noticed in season for theircorrection. The most important, is, the representing of the west line ofMethuen and the old west line of Haverhill, as touching the Merrimackat the same point, whereas the distance between them should have beenabout one and a half miles. With this exception, the map is sufficientlycorrect for the purpose for which it is here introduced.
