Antique Accident, Maryland 1908 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Selbysport, Sang Run, McHenry Friendsville Deep Creek Pennsylvania MD

Beautiful, antique economic geology map of Western Maryland around Accident, including Garrett County and parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. This is an authentic 1900 edition, 1908 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.

See what Western Maryland looked like over 120 years ago before Youngiogheny Lake and Deep Creek Lake were created. Lots of intricate details, sedimentary rock formations and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! This is one of the rare maps where the topographic symbols and map guide are on the front.

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 1900, printed 1908

Dimensions: 18 1/2" width x 21 1/2" height
