$62

This 15-minute USGS topographic sheet is a 1904 edition printed in 1912, engraved by H.M. Wilson from an earlier field survey, and it survives in very good condition on thick stock: lightly handled, never folded, with a flawless map area and evenly age-toned paper. The quad straddles the Ohio River along the Ohio–West Virginia line, taking in Marietta and Williamstown along with Devola, Boaz, and Belmont, plus portions of the Wayne National Forest and its purchase unit. Surveyed before the modern highway system, it records historic travel routes, ferries, and rail lines as they stood at the turn of the century, and the reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map.

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 Marietta 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 1902. 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.
