Lake Wyoming Antique USGS Topographic Map 1922

$78

This USGS 30-minute topographic map is a 1911 edition printed in 1922, in good condition on an original canvas-backed sheet that is lightly handled and nicely age-toned, with publisher folds. Covering roughly 25 by 35 miles in the heart of Yellowstone National Park, the quad area takes in parts of the Teton and Washakie Wildernesses along with Shoshone and Teton National Forests across Fremont, Park, and Teton Counties. Surveyed in 1885 under geographer Henry Gannett, this rare canvas-backed sheet is extraordinarily durable; the folding panel setup is ideal for historical study and would look excellent framed, with a folded size of 7 by 10 inches.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
