Antique Canton, Illinois 1912 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Buckheart, Putman, Cass, Joshua, Deerfield, Young Hickory, Fairview, IL

Beautiful, antique map of Canton, Illinois and surrounding Fulton and Knox County areas. This is an authentic 1912 edition from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Illinois looked like more than 105 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! At some point the map was canvas-backed and split into quadrants, perhaps for field work.

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

Edition of 1912, printed 1912
