This Army Corps of Engineers topographic map of Walville, Washington, is a 1941 edition printed the same year, making it a first-year print now 85 years old.

The sheet is in excellent condition, never folded, on thick stock with a green woodland tint marking the forested hills — well suited to framing.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USACE 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.
