Charleston West Virginia Cross Lanes Rand USGS Topo Map 1914

$75

This 1909 edition of the Charleston, West Virginia quad was printed in 1914, an antique sheet in excellent condition: very lightly handled, never folded, smooth and flat, on thick stock, with only hole punches along the left collar. Covering parts of Kanawha and Putnam counties, the quad area takes in Charleston, South Charleston, and Dunbar along the Kanawha River, with Cross Lanes, Sissonville, Malden, and Big Chimney also within its boundaries. Engraved in 1909 under geographer Frank Sutton from a 1907 field survey, the map records the state capital and its surrounding river valley as they stood a century ago, and it comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection. The reverse carries printed USGS reference material.

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.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Charleston 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 1907. 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.
