Description: Up for sale is a large, antique map of The United States Showing The Distribution Of Prosopis Juliflora, Quercus Alba and Q. Densiflora (Mesquite, White Oak and Chestnut Oak) In North America Exclusive Of Mexico - Prepared under the direction of C.S. Sargent, Special Agent. Published in 1883. The map measures approximately 19" x 28", including the border area. Map is in color and is blank on the reverse side. This map is from the "Department Of The Interior, Census Office". It was published in 1883 and included 16 maps with accompanying Report On Forest Trees of North America, by Prof. C. S. Sargent. Maps this early and showing this much forestry detail are very scarce. The map has fantastic coloring to it. The various shades of green represent the areas containing the different tree species. The map is generally in Fair+ condition. There is wear and browning, particuarly on the left and right hand sides. There are some creases and tears around the edges of the paper and there are some heavier rips along the top of the map - some heavier staining along the border. There is one tear on the bottom left hand corner, near the Legend, that does extend into the map. There are creases/folds in the corners, along the border, and there are other dings here and there, as well. This map is a great piece of US history! It will look very nice when framed. Please note that while I have included a picture of the front board of the Atlas this map was taken from, it is NOT included in the sale, as it is a reference piece to determine authenticity for the other maps. I would be happy to include a copy if requested. This is a large map, so please note shipping prices. Please see my store for other great items. Inventory R-Map-25
