USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAP
1917 print in fair condition
For sale is the 1902 edition of the Mineral Point 30-minute map. This map would be great for historical reference o...r research, genealogy studies, adding to a collection, treasure hunting, a nice conversation piece, a gift for a history or map enthusiast, or for anyone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 produced by the United States Geological Survey for the Mineral Point 30-minute quadrangle. The map is an original 1917 USGS print that is 102-year-old years old and in fair condition. The Mineral Point 30-minute map shows roads, paths, towns, railroads, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries, and many structures (houses, churches, schools, barns, etc.) as they existed at the time of the survey in 1900 through 1904. The Mineral Point map was field surveyed before aerial photography methods were widely used in map data gathering. It was drawn by 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 early government map makers, who placed a strong emphasis on creating complete, accurate, and cartographically appealing maps. 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.
