Sketch E Showing Progress of the Survey of Section V from 1847 to 1852

Triangulation chart showing part of the coast of South Carolina from Savannah River to Cape Roman. Includes St. Helena Sound, Edisto Island, John's Island, James Island, Bulls Bay, and Charleston Lighthouse, as well as the City of Savannah.

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.
