Taberg New York Rome Camden USGS 15-Min Topographic Map 1912

$55

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1905 edition, printed in 1912, and in very good condition — never folded, smooth and flat, on thick stock, from an uncommonly well-preserved collection. Covering ground in the vicinity of Rome about 35 miles northeast of Syracuse, the quad area spans parts of Lewis and Oneida counties and includes Rome and the town of Camden. Drawn from a 1902 and 1903 field survey and engraved in 1905, it predates the modern highway system, recording the overland travel routes, rail lines, structures, and early placenames of that era, with printed reference material on the reverse.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Taberg 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, 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 1902 and 1903. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
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.
