Canton South Dakota Sioux Falls Tea USGS Topo Map 1900

$58

Printed in 1900 as a first-year print of its edition, this 30-minute USGS topographic sheet is in excellent condition, having been very lightly handled and never folded, and it survives smooth and flat on thick stock. Spanning the South Dakota–Iowa line near Sioux Falls, the quad takes in Canton, Lennox, Beresford, Harrisburg, and Tea, along with parts of Minnehaha, Lincoln, Union, and neighboring counties. Engraved in 1900 from an 1897 field survey under geographer Jno. H. Renshawe, it shows the region as it stood at the turn of the century, and the reverse carries printed reference material.

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.
