Jarratt Virginia Stony Creek Yale USGS Topographic Map 1951

$49

Printed in 1951 in its year of first publication, this USGS/Army Corps of Engineers 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition, lightly handled and never folded, with a flawless map area and a small handwritten two-letter notation in the lower right collar corner. Based on a 1918 aerial and field survey, it takes in a stretch of southeastern Virginia about 15 miles northeast of Emporia, with the town of Jarratt and the communities of Stony Creek and Yale falling within the quad across parts of Sussex, Greensville, and neighboring counties. It comes on thick stock, and the never-folded sheet lies flat for framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Jarratt 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, 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 1918. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also 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.
