Description
Beautiful, antique contour map of Raleigh County, West Virginia, including the western portion of Summers County. This is an authentic 1916 print from the Maryland & US Geological Survey & is NOT a computer reproduction. This map is very large & would be the focus of any wall where it is hung. (See coin in corner to get an idea of the scale.) See what West Virginia looked like over 100 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details & geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time, which is not small feat considering how large this map is. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful & rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts. Edition of 1916, printed 1916 Dimensions: 42" width x 36" height Condition: Very Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in amazing shape for being 100 years old. Has light wear & folds, as-issued, but these will flatten easily & all will read as vintage character when framed. We will happily adjust shipping price for multiple purchases. Map will be shipped folded to preserve quality. Antique Raleigh County, West Virginia 1916 Geological Survey Map - Beckley, Shady Spring, Crab Orchard, New River Gorge, Lake Stephens, Wv
