Antique Eagle, Wisconsin 1889 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Ottawa, Genesee, Waukesha, Mukwonago, Vernon, Troy Waterford Hilburn WI
Beautiful, antique map of Eagle, Wisconsin and surrounding Waukesha, Walworth and Racine County areas. This is an authentic 1889 edition, 1897 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio and features the rare heading "Moraines," which means a mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edges or extremity.
See what Wisconsin looked like more than 125 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. Maps such as these make great gifts.
Edition of 1889, printed 1897
