Antique Mount Blackburn, Antarctica 1966 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Watson Escarpment, La Gorce Mountains, Scott Glacier

Beautiful, antique map of Mount Blackburn and the Watson Escarpment area of Antarctica. This is an authentic 1966 print from the U.S. Geological Survey Reconnaissance Series and not a computer reprint.

See what Antarctica looked like almost 60 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!

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 1966, printed 1966
