Description

This is an authentic 1897 print from the U.S. Geological Survey & NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio. See what Tennessee looked like over 130 years ago. Lots of intricate details & geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!
