Mount Jewett Pennsylvania Wilcox USGS Topographic Map 1965

$41

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1935 edition, printed in 1965, and the sheet is in very good condition—lightly handled, never folded, on thick stock. Covering a stretch of northwestern Pennsylvania across Elk and McKean counties, the quad area takes in Mount Jewett, Wilcox, and Hazel Hurst, along with part of the Allegheny National Forest and the East Branch Clarion River Lake. The 20-foot contour interval traces the ridges and stream valleys of this Allegheny Plateau country, the kind of terrain that shaped the region’s timber and hunting-camp traditions. The map area is flawless, with edge protectors applied and a library stamp in the right collar.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Mount Jewett 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 1934 and 1935. 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.
