This USGS 30-minute topographic sheet is a 1906 edition, printed in 1907, and remains in good condition on thick stock, never folded and only very lightly handled, though some moisture contact shows at the top and bottom of the sheet. Drawn from an 1886 through 1897 field survey, it takes in the country around Washington and stretches east across Prince George’s and Anne Arundel counties toward the Patuxent River, with the quad area including Silver Spring, Bowie, Mount Rainier, and Accokeek. Predating the modern highway system, the sheet records the overland travel routes, rail lines, river crossings, and early placenames of the era, and it comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
