Inman South Carolina Boiling Springs USGS Topo Map 1964

Inman South Carolina Boiling Springs USGS Topo Map 1964

$45

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1961 edition, printed in 1964, and the sheet is in very good condition with only a midsheet horizontal foldline and light age-toning along the right collar. Drawn at 1:62,500 with a 20-foot contour interval, it takes in the upper corner of South Carolina where the state meets North Carolina, with the quad area including Inman, Boiling Springs, Inman Mills, Landrum, and Tryon across Spartanburg, Greenville, and Polk counties. The base survey was completed before Interstate 26 was built, so the map records the road network of this stretch of the Carolina foothills as it stood before that highway crossed it.

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.
