Vanceboro North Carolina Ernul USGS Topo Map 1968 Vintage

Vanceboro North Carolina Ernul USGS Topo Map 1968 Vintage

$45

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1902 edition printed in 1968, in excellent condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded with a flawless map area. Covering an area about 20 miles southeast of Greenville, the quad takes in the town of Vanceboro along with the community of Ernul, spanning parts of Beaufort, Craven, and Pitt counties in eastern North Carolina. The base was drawn from a 1902 field survey under geographer H.M. Wilson, giving the map a portrait of this low, river-crossed coastal-plain country as it stood at the turn of the century. Because the sheet was never folded and lies flat, it works well for framing; note that the collar carries a black marker notation at the bottom.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Vanceboro 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 1902. 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.
