DESCRIPTION

Chart showing Turtle Reef, Carysfort Reef, and the Gulf Stream off of the coast of Florida. Bathymetry and navigational information are shown by numerous depth soundings, isolines, range and bearings, anchorage notes, aids, and hazards to the mariners along with sailing directions, tidal information, and location of lighthouses.

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.
