Genuine Antique Coast Chart

1889

Maker: US Coast and Geodetic Survey.

 

Black and white antique map of the Atlantic coast side of Cape Cod by the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, surveyed in 1887-1888 and published in their report of 1889. This map shows the transects set up in 1888 to document shoreline erosion. Many of these points have been relocated & serve as anchors to show rates of erosion. Good overall antique condition with overall mild toning that is darker at the folds, a tiny spot or two, and a separation in the middle of the left fold (through part of Pleasant Bay) has been archivally repaired. Slight image transfer aka ghosting. Measures approx. 8 x 25.5 inches to neatline.
