Antique Galena, Illinois 1913 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Menominee, Rawlins, Scales Mound, Rice, Hanover, Bremen, Aiken, Iowa IL

Beautiful, antique map of Galena, Illinois and Jackson County, Iowa area on the Mississippi River. This is an authentic 1913 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Illinois and Iowa on the Mississippi River just southeast of Dubuque looked like more than a century 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! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.

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 1913, printed 1913
