1922 Lake Wyoming Antique USGS Topographic Map
$58.00
A 1911 edition USGS 30-minute quad, printed in 1922, this antique sheet is in good condition — and notably, it is a rare canvas-backed example, making it exceptionally durable and well-suited to repeated handling or extended study. The map depicts a rugged stretch of the central Yellowstone Plateau and surrounding high country, taking in portions of Yellowstone National Park along with parts of Teton Wilderness, North Absaroka Wilderness, Teton National Forest, and Shoshone National Forest across Fremont, Park, and Teton counties. The canvas backing and folding panel format — collapsing to a compact 7 by 10 inches — make this an unusually practical research document, and the 1911 edition captures this landscape at a period when infrastructure and human presence within the park were still minimal.

SURVEYING AND CARTOGRAPHY
The Lake map was field surveyed before aerial photography methods were widely used in map data gathering. It was drawn by skilled cartographers at the United States Geological Survey based on plane table field survey information as well as information gathered from local residents in the area. This piece displays the remarkable abilities of early government map makers, who placed a strong emphasis on creating complete, accurate, and cartographically appealing maps.

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.
