Whitesburg Kentucky Pikeville Cumberland USGS Topo Map 1910
$80
This USGS reconnaissance topographic sheet is a 30-minute quad first published in 1892, printed in 1910 on thick stock and kept in excellent condition: never folded, smooth and flat, with a flawless map area and hole punches along the left collar. Spanning the Kentucky–Virginia line, the quad area takes in Whitesburg, Jenkins, Cumberland, and Pound, along with communities such as Pippa Passes, Blackey, and Wayland across the coal country of the Cumberland Plateau. Drawn from an 1883 through 1885 field survey under geographer Henry Gannett, the sheet records the area from Pikeville southward to Pine Mountain before the modern highway system, showing the historic travel routes, rail lines, and placenames of that era. It comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection, and the reverse carries printed reference material about the mapping program of the time.
In stock

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 Whitesburg 30-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 1883 through 1885.
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.
