$37

Printed in its year of first publication, 1908, this antique USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in good condition, never folded and printed on thick stock with attractively age-toned paper. The quad sits about 25 miles northwest of Charleston along the Kanawha River, taking in Winfield, Eleanor, and Buffalo and spilling across Putnam, Kanawha, Mason, and Jackson counties. Surveyed in 1906 by H.M. Wilson and engraved in 1908, it predates the modern highway system and records the wagon roads, rail lines, and placenames of the era, and the reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map. A few tears have been carefully repaired on the back with archival tape, and there is a pencilled notation and small inventory stamp in the collar.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Winfield 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 1906. 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.
