Antique Vandiver, Alabama 1908 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Gary, Merkel, East Saginaw, Nelson Mill, Jefferson, Shelby County, AL

Beautiful, antique map of Vandiver, Alabama and surrounding Jefferson County and Shelby County areas east of Birmingham. This is an authentic 1908 edition, 1927 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and is NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.


See what Alabama looked like 115 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. 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.
