Loysville Pennsylvania Landisburg USGS Topo Map 1966 Vintage

$42

A joint USGS and Army Corps of Engineers topographic map on the 15-minute series, this is a 1952 edition with 1956 revisions, printed in 1966 and in very good condition. It takes in a stretch of central Pennsylvania about 10 miles west of Bloomfield, with the quad area spanning parts of Perry, Cumberland, and Juniata counties and including the communities of Loysville, Landisburg, and Ickesburg. The sheet was never folded and shows only light handling with a flawless map area, printed on thick stock with edge protectors applied and a library stamp in the right collar, so it lies flat and would frame well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Loysville 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 1951 and 1952. 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.
