Antique Coastal Survey- Triangulation of the Western Coast of the United States

This black and white, antique coastal survey was made for the United States Coast Survey. The surveys provide notes on important characteristics of the area mapped. The names of harbors, rivers and important buildings and coastal towns are identified on the map. 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 1854, shows triangulation of California and insets of the entire coast, the strait of Rosario, the vicinity of San Pedro, the Columbia River and San Diego Bay. Some margins are small due to the way the survey was bound.
