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.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1957 edition of the Boothbay Maine USGS topographic map. It is an original 54-year-old 1972 United States Geological Survey print in excellent condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Boothbay 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 1941. 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.
