DESCRIPTION

A very nice large-scale chart showing Koos Bay and the entrance from the Pacific Ocean. Numerous soundings, aids, and hazards to navigation are given along with notes on tides, Cape Gregory Lighthouse, soundings, and bottom configurations. An inset map in the upper left shows the entrance as it was in October of 1865.

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.
