Antique Needle Mountains, Colorado 1902 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – La Plata, San Juan County Rocky Mountains, Animas River, CO

Beautiful, antique map of Needle Mountains, Colorado and surrounding La Plata County & San Juan County area. This is an authentic 1902 edition, 1905 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reprint.

See what Colorado looked like more than 120 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed. 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 1902, printed 1905
