$43

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1943 edition printed in 1965, in very good condition with no wear in the map area and a library stamp in the collar; it has been kept on thick stock and was never folded. Drawn from a 1943 field survey at a scale of 1:62,500, it takes in the northern Pennsylvania countryside where Bradford and Susquehanna counties meet the New York line, with the quad area including Le Raysville, Little Meadows, Friendsville, and Stevensville. This is rolling farm and creek country in the hills southwest of Binghamton, the kind of quiet borderland landscape that rewards anyone with roots in the area.

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.
