DESCRIPTION

A very interesting map of the state of the PLSS surveys with sections hand-colored to show the status and recommendations of the surveys. The Mississippi River and other primary waterways are shown and labeled. Interesting boundaries shown here are the "Old Cherokee Line", the Choctaw Boundary Line, and the clearly new Cherokee Boundary Line pushed further west.

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.
