DESCRIPTION

A nicely detailed chart showing great bathymetric detail with numerous soundings. Fine detail of the coastline is shown with many islands, rocks, inlets, harbors delineated and labeled. Place names are thoroughly shown, including lighthouses, islands, rocks, towns, coves, and the like. The chart shows the coastline from Monhegan Island in the southwest up to Monroe Island and Owl's Head Light in the northeast.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
