Moclips Washington Ocean Shores USGS Topo Map 1943 Vintage

$44

This Army Corps of Engineers topographic map is a first-year 1943 print, printed in its year of first publication, and survives in very good condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. Drawn from a 1934 through 1939 aerial and field survey along the Grays Harbor coast of Washington, the quad takes in Moclips, Copalis Beach, Pacific Beach, and part of the Quinault Indian Reservation, in the vicinity of present-day Ocean Shores. Notably, the survey predates the existence of Ocean Shores, so the map shows this stretch of Pacific coastline before that resort community took shape. The map area is flawless, with library stamps in the bottom collar.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Moclips 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 1934 through 1939. 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.
