In stock
This black and white, antique coastal survey was made by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The surveys provide sailing instructions and notes on important characteristics of the area mapped. Depth readings, descriptions of bottom materials, light houses and important cities along the coast are identified on the survey. These charts show areas that have likely undergone significant changes due to modifications and recessions of coastal lands, making them fascinating to anyone interested in local geography and history. This coastal survey, produced in 1858, shows triangulation of points on coastal islands and the mainland along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico from Aransas Bay to Matagorda Bay.
