Antique Palmyra, Virginia 1888 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Columbia, Fork Union, Scottsville, Fluvanna, Albermarle, Cumberland VA

Beautiful, antique map of the Palmyra, Virginia and surrounding Fluvanna, Luisa, Buckingham, Cumberland & Alebermalre County area on the James River. This is an authentic 1888 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio and features the rare heading "A Rejuvenated Region."

See what Virginia looked like more than 125 years ago—before Lake Monticello was formed. Printed in the very large 30 minute scale, this map covers an immense amount of landscape. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every city block that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! Map is canvas-backed. It is also one of the rare maps with accompanying legend on the front.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as this make great gifts.
