$115

This USGS Reconnaissance Topo Map is a 30-minute sheet of the Romney quadrangle, first published in 1891 and printed in 1909, an antique sheet in excellent condition that was never folded and remains smooth and flat on thick stock. Drawn from an 1883 through 1885 field survey under geographer Henry Gannett, it takes in a stretch of the West Virginia–Maryland–Virginia border country, with the quad area including Romney, Moorefield, Keyser, and Fort Ashby along with part of the George Washington National Forest. Surveyed before the modern highway system, it records the overland travel routes, rail lines, and early placenames of the era, and this one comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection. The reverse carries printed reference material from the 1909 USGS mapping program.

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.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Romney 30-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 1883 through 1885.

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.
