DESCRIPTION

A striking U.S. Coast Survey chart showing a line of soundings across the Florida Channel from Key West to Havana, Cuba with some points, rocks, islands, lighthouses. Depicted are Pine Islands, Key West, Vaccas Keys, Long Key, and Indian Key amongst others, Florida and a section of the coast of Cuba from Havana to Bahia de Cadiz Cay. A sounding profile is shown along the bottom of the chart.

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.
