DESCRIPTION

A striking U.S. Coast Survey chart showing a section of the Ohio River from the confluend of the Mississippi River at Cairo to Mound City . The chart shows the main channel, points, landings, roads, towns, buildings, vegetation, properties and other features.

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.
