New Holland Pennsylvania Ephrata Akron USGS Topo Map 1962
$48
This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1906 edition, printed in 1962, in very good condition on thick stock and never folded. Covering a stretch of southeastern Pennsylvania in Lancaster and Berks counties, the quad takes in New Holland along with Ephrata, Akron, Reamstown, Denver, and the Leola and Leacock communities of Lancaster’s farm country. The base map reflects the landscape recorded in H.M. Wilson’s 1905 and 1906 field survey, capturing the towns and rural roads of this corner of Pennsylvania Dutch country. The sheet carries a library stamp in the center right collar and minor paperclip residue in the lower right corner, while the map area itself is flawless.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1906 edition of the New Holland Pennsylvania USGS topographic map. It is an original 64-year-old 1962 United States Geological Survey print in very good condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
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. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The New Holland 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 1905 and 1906. 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.
