DESCRIPTION

Triangulation chart for Long Island and the coastal and inland areas adjacent. A richly detailed map of the progress from Staten Island and New York City, Long Island and along the coast of Connecticut to Block Island and Point Judith. Shows all major islands, rivers, and inlets s well as the triangulation points throughout the area . Lighthouses, ports, cities, beaches, and other sites called out.

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.
