Pleasant Mound Illinois Tamalco USGS Topographic Map 1977

$28

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1974 edition printed in 1977, and the sheet is in excellent condition, very lightly handled and never folded. Covering roughly 7 by 9 miles in the vicinity of Greenville, the quad spans parts of Bond and Fayette counties and takes in the community of Pleasant Mound along with Hookdale, with a portion of Carlyle Lake within its boundaries. The lakeshore edge gives the sheet a mix of open water and rolling south-central Illinois farmland, and because this print was never folded and shows a flawless map area, it would frame cleanly for anyone with a tie to the Greenville area.
