DESCRIPTION

Triangulation chart of the coast of Texas from Matagorda Bay to Sabine Lake but focusing on Galveston Bay. Shows coastal details, places, points of interest and delineates surveyed areas at the year of the survey. This edition includes a sub-sketch showing the progress of the survey of the Rio Grande and vicinity in 1853 & 54.

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.
