Carte de la Côte Orientale de l'Amérique Septentrionale

This is a truly striking nautical chart showing the fledgling United States' northeastern coast from New York to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The chart shows navigational details along this stretch of coastline including islands, rocks, inlets, harbors, and ports, aids, and hazards to navigation, and some small-scale bathymetry and soundings. In the upper left, there is a beautiful and very detailed inset chart of Boston Harbor, again with similar nautical navigational information. This map is rare in this condition.

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.
