Burlington Pennsylvania Trenton USGS Topographic Map 1958

$49

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1904 edition, printed in 1958, and is in very good condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. Straddling the Pennsylvania–New Jersey line along the Delaware River near Philadelphia, the quad area takes in Trenton and Ewing on the Jersey side and Bucks County communities such as Levittown, Fairless Hills, and Richboro, with Burlington and Florence-Roebling downriver. Surveyed in the 1880s under geographer Henry Gannett, it records the region from Andalusia to Trenton before the modern highway system, showing the overland travel routes, rail lines, and river crossings of that era. A library stamp sits in the center-right collar, and edge protectors have been applied.

This vintage sheet is a 1904 edition of the Burlington Pennsylvania USGS topographic map. It is an original 68-year-old 1958 United States Geological Survey print in very good 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 Burlington 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 1885 through 1888. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be 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.
