DESCRIPTION

A very nice map showing the progress of the Survey of the Florida Reefs 1849 - 1855. The chart is broken up into several sections to show the various areas of the reefs. Cape Sable Base, Connections of Triangulation with Cape Sable Base, Dry Tortugas, Key Biscayne, Key West, Bahia Honda, and Coffin's Patches.

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.
