$45

Printed in its first year of publication, 1943, this Army Corps of Engineers topographic sheet is a 15-minute quad in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. The mapped area takes in the city of Lancaster along with Columbia, Lititz, Millersville, Mount Joy, and Manheim, with the eastern edge of Lebanon County reaching into the northwest around Mount Gretna. Compiled from a 1938 through 1943 aerial and field survey before the modern interstate system was built, it records the overland roads and placenames of the Pennsylvania Dutch country as they stood in the early 1940s. The sheet carries a library stamp in the center right collar and a horizontal storage crease along the bottom collar, with edge protectors applied.

This vintage sheet is a 1943 edition of the Lancaster Pennsylvania USACE topographic map. It is an original 83-year-old US Army Corp of Engineers 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 Lancaster 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 1938 through 1943. 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 USACE 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.
