DESCRIPTION

A striking, scarce and highly desirable U.S. Coast Survey chart of Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers in Maine. This beautiful chart shows great bathymetric detail with numerous soundings, bearings and details showing rocks, headlands, inlets and other dangers. In addition, the chart has incredibly detailed terrestrial mapping, showing shaded relief, vegetation, property lines, towns, primary roads, bridges, and place names. The chart maps from Cape Small Point in the southwest to Bath in the northwest and east to Wiscasset.

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.
