$74

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1906 edition printed in 1912, an antique sheet in excellent condition that was never folded and remains smooth and flat on thick stock. Covering country about 25 miles northeast of Syracuse in the vicinity of Camden, the quad area spans parts of Lewis, Oneida, and Oswego counties and includes Williamstown, Altmar, and the town of Constantia. Surveyed in 1903 and 1904, before the modern highway system, it records the travel routes, rail lines, and placenames of that era, and this print comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection. The reverse carries printed reference material about the mapping program of the day.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Kasoag 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 1903 and 1904. 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.
