Beautiful, antique and *absolutely immense* map of New Jersey west of New York City, including parts of upstate New York and eastern Pennsylvania. This is an authentic circa 1900 edition, circa 1900-1920 composite set of twelve prints from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reprint.

At sometime during the last one hundred years, someone pieced together these TWELVE topographical maps from the USGS. This is the most unique map in my collection and it borders on full-on art. In the very fine detail of the old USGS maps, it covers more than 4,200 square miles of New Jersey, New York & Pennsylvania. To get an idea of the scale, see the roll of scotch tape on the bottom left corner of the map in the first photograph.

This map has more character than anything I've ever seen and its authenticity will radiate from the wall. Thoroughly unique and beautiful. Separately, these antique maps would total over $1,500.

See what New Jersey, New York & Pennsylvania looked like over 100 years ago, when large swaths of the land were still undeveloped. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has every house and building that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back are 12 descriptions of topographic symbols and map guide, per each individual map.

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.

Editions of 1903-1905, printed 1915-1921

Dimensions: 56" width x 54" height

Condition: Fair to Good, or "Very Vintage," condition, commensurate with age. This map is in amazing shape for being over 100 years old. Has edge-wear, fold lines, discoloration (mainly in that top right section) and some separations were the maps were joined together, but this will read as vintage character when framed. Folds will flatten easily. This map has more character than anything I've ever seen and its authenticity will radiate from the wall. Thoroughly unique and beautiful.

----

We will happily adjust shipping price for multiple purchases. This particular will be shipped fully-insured and folded, to keep integrity of fold lines and prevent any more separations in the rolling process.
