Carlyle Illinois Beckemeyer Huey USGS Topographic Map 1910

$40

Printed in its year of first publication, 1910, this antique USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in flawless condition — never folded, very lightly handled, with light age-toning and printed on thick stock. It takes in a stretch of south-central Illinois around Carlyle, with Beckemeyer, Bartelso, Keyesport, Hoffman, and Huey falling within the quad boundaries across Bond, Clinton, Fayette, and Washington counties. Based on a 1908 field survey, the sheet shows the Kaskaskia River valley decades before Carlyle Dam impounded it to form Carlyle Lake, so the country here appears as it was long before that reservoir existed. The reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Carlyle 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, 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 1908. 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.
