$45

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1952 edition printed in 1964, in very good condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. Based on a 1951 and 1952 aerial and field survey, it takes in Carlisle about 15 miles southwest of Harrisburg, with Mechanicsburg, Boiling Springs, Mount Holly Springs, and Dillsburg falling within the quad boundaries across Cumberland, Adams, and York counties. It captures the region as it was before the modern highway system, mapping the overland travel routes, rail lines, and structures that carried the country from Carlisle south toward York Springs. The collar carries edge protectors and a library stamp in the center right, while the map area shows no wear or markings, and the flat sheet is a fair candidate for framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Carlisle 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 1951 and 1952. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are 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.
