Wallula Washington Finley Burbank USGS Topo Map 1918 Antique

$34

Printed in 1918, its year of first publication, this USGS 30-minute topographic sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled with publisher folds and light age-toning on a canvas-backed sheet. Surveyed in 1915 and engraved in 1917 under geographer R.B. Marshall, it takes in the country along the Columbia and Snake rivers where Washington meets Oregon, with the quad area spanning parts of Benton, Franklin, Umatilla, and Walla Walla counties and including Finley, Burbank, Touchet, and Wallula. The 50-foot contours trace the dry, rolling terrain around the river confluence as it looked before the dams reshaped the reach, and this sheet is divided into nine canvas-backed panels for easy viewing and extra durability.

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.
