On few months back Antiques road show an early map of the Boston area was estimated to be worth big bucks, aka thousands, it was preserved behind glass and you may wish to do so too...
Because of it's potential, this find deserves a lot more research on your side....

Just a quick word of friendly advice. DONT FOLD IT UP AGAIN! have it rolled, folded maps lose a ton load of value as it counts towards a defect, collectors love flat none creased maps. Other than that, nice! :)
Take it into an expert to get there opinion as it was obviously folded originaly, but as mentioned above, depending on the map maker etc they can be very valuable
