Warrensville Pennsylvania Barbours USGS Topographic Map 1962

$45

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1953 edition printed in 1962, on thick stock and in very good condition, having never been folded despite moderate handling. Covering an area of the Williamsport vicinity in Lycoming and Sullivan counties, the quad takes in Warrensville, for which it is named, along with Montoursville and Barbours, with the map area itself showing no wear or markings. The 20-foot contour interval traces the ridge-and-valley country north of the West Branch Susquehanna, and a library stamp in the right collar hints at the sheet’s earlier institutional life.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Warrensville 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 1930. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are 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.

PLACENAMES
