Fulton New York Oswego Minetto USGS Topo Map 1905 Antique

$42

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.

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.
