Honey Brook Pennsylvania Thorndale USGS Topographic Map 1962

$54

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1905 edition printed in 1962, in very good condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. Covering an area of southeastern Pennsylvania in the vicinity of Coatesville about 40 miles west of Philadelphia, the quad takes in the borough of Honey Brook along with Thorndale, Elverson, Morgantown, and Warwick, spanning parts of Berks, Chester, and Lancaster counties. Based on a 1904 and 1905 field survey, it records the overland roads and placenames of the area before the interstate system reshaped travel through the region. The map area is flawless, and its combination of thick stock and an unfolded sheet makes it well suited to framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Honey Brook 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, 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 1904 and 1905. 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.
