Boothbay Maine Wiscasset USGS Topographic Map 1972 Vintage

$52

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1957 edition, printed in 1972, and the sheet is in excellent condition – lightly handled and never folded, with a flawless map area and a clean collar free of wear, tears, or markings. It takes in the tidal coast of Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties in Maine, with the quad boundaries including Boothbay Harbor, Damariscotta-Newcastle, and Wiscasset, roughly 35 miles northeast of Portland. Bathymetric depth isolines trace the offshore waters here, detail that suits a stretch of coast defined by its inlets, harbors, and peninsulas. Because the sheet was never folded, it lies flat and takes well 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 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.
