  • Condition: Covers are brittle due to the age of the paper. Front cover has a tear at the top of about one inch. Back cover missing and half the map pocket, but the map is present and in very good condition. Notable chipping of the spine and edges of the cover, visible in pictures. Spine is tanned, but readable. Corner bumping is minor. Some pages are corner bumped and a few have nicks around the edges. A good example of this report considering the USGS used the worst acidic paper during this period.

    Description

    RARE OLD ITEM!! CLASSIC VINTAGE MAP!!
    This is USGS Bulletin 279,
    Economic Geology of the Kittanning and Rural Quadrangles, Pennsylvania
    . Published in 1906, there can't be many of these around. This report consists of a 198-page book,
    a full color map of the area
    , and seven fold out stratigraphic charts bound into the text.
    This is an area known for coal and clay mining, NE of Pittsburg, mainly in Armstrong county, but overlapping partly in to Indiana and Butler counties as well. Dozens of different coal beds are discussed in the text, as well as other features. It is all interesting, but the real prize here is
    the map
    , which is a full color map of the area, with the Alleghany River flowing down through it. Kittanning and Ford City are toward the center of the map. Dayton, Sagamore, Craigsville, and East Brady are toward the edges. This map has got a great vintage look to it and would look fantastic framed and hung in a home or business in the area. The colors are just rich and the details amazing. I love these old things and to find one like this with no damage or pinholes, well, it is just begging to be displayed. However there is lots of history in the report as well, with many old company names and such, if that is your interest.
    Please read the condition notes.
    Expert packing assured. Shipping weight is two pounds with a cardboard backer. Media Mail is provided to save you a couple bucks.
