USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAP
1938 print in very good condition
For sale is the 1922 edition of the Natchez 15-minute map. This map would be ideal for framing or display, historica...l reference or research, genealogy studies, adding to your collection, treasure hunting, a nice conversation piece, a gift for a history or map enthusiast, or for anyone interested in this area. This sheet includes the first survey done by the United States Geological Survey for the Natchez 15-minute quadrangle. The map sheet is an original 1938 USGS print in very good condition. The Natchez 15-minute map shows all roads, paths, towns, 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 1909 through 1920. All known structures (houses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be shown. The Natchez map was surveyed before aerial photography methods were widely used in map data gathering. It was drawn by Geological Survey cartographers based on plane table field survey information as well as information gathered from local residents in the area. It displays the remarkable abilities of the early USGS map makers, who placed a strong emphasis on creating complete, accurate, and cartographically appealing maps. 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.
