Description
Beautiful, antique map of Gaines, Pennsylvania & surrounding Tioga & Potter County areas. This is an authentic 1899 edition, 1903 print from the U.S. Geological Survey & NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio. See what Pennsylvania & New York looked like over 120 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! This is one of the rare maps where the topographic symbols & map guide are on the front. Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
