Needmore Pennsylvania Crystal Spring USGS Topo Map 1947

$44

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1939 edition with 1946 revisions, printed in 1947 on thick stock and kept in very good condition, never folded and only lightly handled. It takes in a stretch of south-central Pennsylvania in the vicinity of McConnellsburg, with the quad area also including the community of Needmore and reaching across Bedford, Franklin, and Fulton counties. Surveyed before the modern interstate and highway system, it records the traditional overland routes and place names of the ridge-and-valley country as they stood in the 1930s and 1940s. The sheet carries a library stamp in the lower right collar, and edge protectors have been applied.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Needmore 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 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.
