South Charleston Ohio Springfield Catawba USGS Topo Map 1927

$58

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1907 edition, printed in 1927, and survives in very good condition on thick stock as a never-folded, attractively age-toned sheet with a flawless map area. It covers a stretch of west-central Ohio about 35 miles west of Columbus, taking in part of Springfield along with South Charleston, South Vienna, Catawba, and Selma across Clark, Greene, and Madmadison counties. Drawn from a 1904 and 1905 field survey under geographer H.M. Wilson and engraved in 1907, it records the farm towns and rolling terrain of the region as mapped in the early twentieth century, with reference material printed on the reverse.

BACKSIDE LEGEND
A map summary is printed on the back side of the South Charleston sheet similar to the one shown in the picture. It outlines the history, purpose, and status of the USGS mapping program at the time of the printing in 1927. It also provides instructions on how to read contour lines and a description of how they are used to depict the terrain. At the bottom of the page is a legend showing all of the symbols used to represent the cultural, relief, and water features found on the map.

This antique sheet is a 1907 edition of the South Charleston Ohio USGS topographic map. It is an authentic 99-year-old 1927 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.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The South Charleston 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 1904 and 1905. 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.
