Reconnaissance of The Western Coast of The United States, Northern Sheet, From Umpquah River to The Boundary
DESCRIPTION
A very nice chart of the northwest part of Washington State. Depicts the coast from Vancouver Island in the north, through the Straits of Juan de Fuca, south to Umpquah River. This chart has eight beautiful elevation views of coastal landmarks: ' Entrance to Columbia River, Cape Disappointment,'' Duncan's Island, Tahtoosh Island, Cape Flattery,' 'Flattery Rocks,' 'Destruction Island,' 'Sail Rock, Pt. Grenville', 'Tillamook Head', 'Cape Lookout', and 'Cape Perpetua'. Depth soundings are shown, and many harbors, bays, and other features and locations are called out. The chart also shows parts of the San Juan Islands. Sailing directions, notes, and tidal information are also included.
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.
