Wayne West Virginia Dunlow Cove Gap USGS Topo Map 1909

$42

Printed in 1909, its year of first publication, this antique 15-minute USGS topographic sheet is in very good condition, never folded and on thick stock with attractively age-toned paper. The quad sits in southwestern West Virginia about 20 miles south of Huntington, taking in the town of Wayne along with the communities of Kiahsville, East Lynn, and Dunlow across Wayne, Lincoln, and Cabell counties. Drawn from a 1907 field survey and engraved in 1909, well before the modern highway system and East Lynn Lake, it records the rail lines, wagon roads, and placenames of the county as they stood at the turn of the century. A light diagonal crease sits in the lower right corner, and the reverse carries printed reference material about reading the map.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Wayne 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 1907. 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.
