Beautiful, antique map of the sedimentary rock formations of North Philadelphia, Germantown and surrounding Montgomery County and Bucks County area. This is an authentic 1894 edition, 1908 print from a U.S. Geological Survey folio and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Philadelphia looked like more than 125 years ago—including three striata diagrams. 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 also one of the rare maps that has the map legend on the front.

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

Edition of 1894, printed 1908

Dimensions: 18 1/2" width x 21 3/4" height
