East Cleveland Tennessee Climer USGS Topographic Map 1966

$46

This 7.5-minute USGS topographic quadrangle is a 1965 edition printed in 1966, in very good condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. It takes in the eastern side of Cleveland, Tennessee, about 30 miles east of Chattanooga in Bradley County, with the quad area including South Cleveland, Wildwood Lake, Tasso, and the community of East Cleveland. Drawn from aerial and field survey work carried out between 1943 and 1965 with the Tennessee Valley Authority credited as geographer, it reflects the TVA’s long presence across this part of East Tennessee. The sheet carries an inventory stamp reaching slightly into the southeast corner of the map area and library stamps in the bottom right collar, and its never-folded state makes it a candidate for framing.
