Conrad Pennsylvania Hammersley Wild Area USGS Topo Map 1958

$35

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1947 edition printed in 1958, in good condition and printed on thick stock. Covering a stretch of Potter County about 15 miles southeast of Coudersport, the quad takes in the Hammersley Wild Area and Patterson State Park, a rugged piece of Pennsylvania’s northern hardwood country. The sheet was never folded and shows no wear across the map area, with edge protectors applied and a library stamp in the right collar; drawn from a 1945 and 1947 aerial and field survey, it records this remote forested terrain and its 40-foot contours in fine detail.

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.

PLACENAMES
The following places are found within the boundary of this quadrangle. They may or may not be shown or labeled, depending on the map series and vintage.
* Counties Covered-> Potter
* Rivers and Streams-> Beech Run, Bell Branch, Big Moores Run, Big Nelson Run, Birch Run, Bolich Run, Borie Branch, Bunnell Run, Camp RunCherry Run, and others
