Antique Carlyle, Illinois 1910 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Kaskaskia River, Lake, Wade, Huey, Washington, Clinton, Bond County IL

Beautiful, antique map of Carlyle, Illinois and surrounding Washington, Clinton & Bond County areas. This map shows the site of the current Carlyle Lake, the largest man-made lake in Illinois, and the largest lake wholly contained within the state, which was completed in 1967 by damming the Kaskaskia River (as seen on the map). This is an authentic 1910 edition, 1922 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and is NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.

See what Illinois looked like over 110 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! 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.
