Genuine Antique Printed Color Map
1878
Maker: Hitchcock.
Antique map from an 1878 atlas by Charles H. Hitchcock, the New Hampshire State Geologist, one of the six huge color plates depicting New Hampshire's bedrock geology. This sheet is the northwest portion of the state but it is comprised almost entirely of Northeastern Vermont and part of Quebec as far as Magog. Includes Lake Memphremagog, St Johnsbury, and as far west as Stowe.
Pre-dating the earliest USGS topographic maps of New Hampshire, the atlas was the first comprehensive map of the Granite State's bedrock and surficial geology; also shows late 19th century towns and roads. Very good overall antique condition, some minor foxing and very slight lower margin stain, map area measures approx. 24 x 20.5 inches, full sheet measures 33 x 24.5 inches.
