U.S. Coast Survey Chart, The Harbor of Holmes' Hole

Highly detailed map showing streets, farms, buildings, and roads (more detail than typical of USCS maps) of Vineyard Haven, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Details the population center of Holmes’ Hole, (Vineyard Haven), West Chop, East Chop, Little Neck, and Lagoon Pond, Eastville.
Depth sounding, notes on tides, and detailed sailing instructions.
The triangulation for this chart was completed by C. M. Eakin. The topographical detail by H. I. Witing.
Dated 1847, published in the 1851 Report.

This chart has been professionally cleaned, deacidified, backed with Japanese tissue, and hand colored.  A beautiful example.

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.
