DESCRIPTION

A striking U.S. Coast Survey chart showing numerous soundings, aids and hazards to navigation, points, rocks, islands, along with notes on tides and soundings. Depicted are a portion of the coast of Washington and Destruction Island. 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.
