Fulton New York Oswego Minetto USGS Topo Map 1905 Antique

$48

A 1900 edition printed in 1905, this antique USGS 15-minute topographic sheet survives in very good condition, never folded and kept smooth and flat on thick stock. The quad takes in the country of central New York about 25 miles northwest of Syracuse, including the cities of Oswego and Fulton along the lower Oswego River, with Minetto, Sand Ridge, and New Haven within its boundaries across Cayuga and Oswego counties. Drawn from an 1898 field survey by geographer H.M. Wilson and predating the modern highway system, it records the rail lines, historic travel routes, and placenames of the era, and comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection. The map area is flawless, though the bottom collar has been trimmed away and there are hole punches along the left collar.

BACKSIDE LEGEND
A map summary is printed on the back side of the Fulton sheet similar to the one shown in the picture. It outlines the history, purpose, and status of the USGS mapping program at the time of the printing in 1905. It also provides instructions on how to read contour lines and a description of how they are used to depict the terrain. At the bottom of the page is a legend showing all of the symbols used to represent the cultural, relief, and water features found on the map.

This antique sheet is a 1900 edition of the Fulton New York USGS topographic map. It is an authentic 121-year-old 1905 United States Geological Survey print in very good condition.

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 Fulton 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 1898. 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.
