Antique 1901 Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland US Geological Survey Map – Gunpowder Falls, Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore & Harford County, MD

Beautiful, antique map of northern Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. Includes Gunpowder Falls and large parts of Baltimore and Harford Counties, just northeast of Baltimore, MD. This is an authentic 1901 edition, 1938 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Maryland looked like more than 120 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1901, printed 1939

Dimensions: 16 1/2" width x 20" height
