Antique Mount Mitchell, North Carolina 1905 US retailer Geological Survey Topographic Map – Yancey County, Pensacola, Athlone Marion Barnardsville NC

Beautiful, antique structure sections map of Mount Mitchell, North Carolina and surrounding Tennessee and Yancey, Buncombe, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, and Rutherford County area. This is an authentic 1901 edition, 1905 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction. It is from a Geologic Atlas folio.

See what North Carolina looked like 120 years ago. Lots of intricate details, sedimentary rock formations 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.
