DESCRIPTION

Detailed charts of 3 California harbors and 1 Oregon Territory harbor on one sheet. Shelter Cove, Harbor of Mendocino City, Crescent City Harbor, and Port Orford or Ewing Harbor of Oregon Territory. Each chart has detailed depth soundings, wash rocks, submerged rocky shoreline features, other dangers, coastal vegetation and topographic features depicted. Notes for the marinere on each harbor are given. Harbor of Mendocino City shows the city, a railroad line and the Rio Grande. Crescent City Harbor shows some settlement buildings along the shoreline. Shelter Cove shows and indian village and some topographic features.
This example has been beautifully hand colored. Perfect for framing.

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.
