Antique on sale Buffalo, New York 1901 US Geological Survey Topographic Map - Tonawanda, West Seneca, Hamburg, Cheektowaga, Amherst, Grand Island NY
Beautiful, antique map of Buffalo, New York and surrounding Erie County area. This is an authentic 1901 edition, 1931 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what New York looked like over 115 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage on sale maps such as these make great gifts.
