Antique Fredericksburg, Virginia 1894 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Potomac, Port Royal, Bowling Green, Stafford, shops King George VA MD
Beautiful, antique areal geology map of historic Fredericksburg, Virginia and surrounding area on the Potomac River. This is an authentic 1894 edition, 1894 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.
See what Maryland looked like over 125 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every settled area that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! This is one of the rare maps where the topographic symbols and map guide are on the front.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Maps such as this make shops great gifts.
