Genuine Antique Coast Survey Chart
1852
Maker: US Coast Survey
Antique survey chart of San Pedro Harbor, long before it was the city that it is today. There appear to be few buildings, although an observatory and road to Los Angeles are noted. This chart also likely shows what is now Long Beach, although there were no signs of the city in 1859. Hand-colored by a local professional artist/colorist. This chart shows soundings with an occasional note about the character of the soil underwater (rocky, hard, sand). Good to very good overall antique condition with a few minor spots and stains. Folds as issued. Measures approx. 9.5"h x 13.25" w to the neatline.
