Antique Galena, Illinois 1915 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Menominee, Rawlins, Scales Mound, Rice, Hanover, Bremen, Aiken, Iowa IL

Beautiful, antique Areal Geology map of Galena, Illinois and Jackson County, Iowa area. This is an authentic 1915 edition, 1915 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.

See what Illinois and Iowa on the Mississippi River just southeast of Dubuque looked like more than 100 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.

Edition of 1915, printed 1915
