DESCRIPTION

Detailed chart of New River Inlet into New River and Stump Sound, North Carolina. Piney Point and Wilson's Bluff are noted. Extensive depth soundings, notes, and tidal information are shown. Marsh and tidal flat details are detailed.
Special issue with Coast Survey Office stamp.

This has been beautifully hand-colored and would be a fabulous framed piece.

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.
