Antique Wilkeson, Washington 1899 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Carbonado, Fairfax, Carbon River, Pierce County, Gleason Hill WA

Beautiful, antique, double-sided structure map of coal beds in Wilkeson, Washington and surrounding Pierce County area on the Carbon River. This is an authentic 1899 edition, 1899 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio. The reverse side has two more structure section maps.

See what Washington State looked like 120 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.
