Reconnaissance of San Pedro Harbor California
DESCRIPTION
Chart of San Pedro Harbor showing Pt. Fermin, Pedro Pt., landing and road to Los Angeles, Dead Man's Island, some inland march details, depth soundings, bottom conditions, and sailing directions and notes. This map also includes a very nice elevation view of San Pedro and Pt. Fermin, Pt. Vincent and current day Palos Verdes. This is the earliest obtainable map of this area.
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.
