YEAR PUBLISHED: 1851
San Diego Entrance and Approaches California
DESCRIPTION
First edition chart of San Diego Entrance and Approaches. Two charts of the bay in different scales, both with fabulous detail, are shown. The larger scale map shows Point Loma, Ballast Point, and the Bay of San Diego, along with some sailing directions and notes to the mariner. The small-scale map shows a broader area extending south of Los Coronados. Depth soundings and some bathymetry are shown.
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.
