Antique Harpers Ferry, West Virginia 1884 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Antietam Battlefield, Sharpsburg, Frederick, Maryland WV MD

Beautiful, antique map of the Antietam Battlefield, Sharpsbug, Harpers Ferry, the Potomac River and Blue Ridge Mountains of Maryland and Virginia. This is an authentic 1884 edition, 1893 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.  It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.

See what Harpers Ferry looked like over 135 years ago, about thirty years after the Civil War. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. 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 1884, printed 1893

Dimensions: 18 1/2" width x 22" height
