USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAP
first-year print in excellent condition
For sale is the 1950 edition of the Mount Steel 15-minute map. This map would be ideal for framing or display, historical reference or research, genealogy studies, adding to your collection, treasure hunting, a nice conversation piece, a gift for a history or map enthusiast, or for anyone interested in this area. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds.
This sheet includes the second survey produced by the United States Geological Survey for the Mount Steel 15-minute quadrangle. The map sheet is an original 1950 USGS print in excellent condition.
The Mount Steel 15-minute map shows all roads, paths, towns, railroads, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1939. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown.
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
