$90

First published in 1894 and printed in 1910, this 15-minute USGS topographic sheet is in excellent condition, on thick stock, never folded, and lies smooth and flat with attractively age-toned paper. It takes in the Cape May Peninsula from Woodbine south toward Rio Grande, with the quad area including Cape May Court House, Dennisville, Whitesboro, and Villas, along with part of the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge above Delaware Bay. Drawn from an 1884 field survey and printed decades before the modern highway and interstate system, it records the peninsula’s older travel routes, rail lines, and placenames, and the reverse carries printed reference material about reading the map. It comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Dennisville 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 1884. 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.
