Tigerville South Carolina Tryon USGS Topographic Map 1973

$20

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1959 edition, printed in 1973, and is in good condition with clean map detail and midsheet foldlines from handling. The quad straddles the South Carolina-North Carolina line, taking in the country around Flat Rock and Saluda to the north and Slater-Marietta and Tuxedo to the south, with parts of Greenville, Henderson, and Polk counties. Mapped from a 1955 through 1959 aerial and field survey, the 40-foot contours trace the rugged terrain along the Blue Ridge escarpment where the Carolinas meet, ground that anyone with ties to the Flat Rock or Saluda area would recognize.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Tigerville 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 1955 through 1959. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also 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.
