DESCRIPTION

A very nice map of the eastern seaboard showing details of the Gulf Stream from the Forida Reefs to Nova Scotia. The map shows the axis and limits of the Gulf Stream as determined from observations of temperature in the Coast Survey and limits as marked by Dr. Franklin in 1769 & 70. The map shows many place names, capes, states, harbors, bays, sounds etc.

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.
