Lot #285 - 6 Bound Volumes of USGS Maps - New York Central

 

 pa94
Railroad New York Central
Size 16" by 21"
Date early 1900s
Condition Good +

6 bound volumes of New York Central lines identified on Us Geological Survey Maps. The New York Central purchased 1905-1916 era US GS quadrangle maps and someone at the offices would painstakingly highlight any NYC controlled track. Collections by region were then placed into the books. I think the maps were linen backed. The books are large 16" by 21" in size. There are major index maps (shown above) that indicate what maps are included in each book. This group is large and quite heavy. This lot can not be shipped. The first two volumes have separated covers: 

(1) New England has about 61 charts 

(2) South East NY 

(3) Adirondacks (east) 

(4) Lake Ontario & Adirondacks (west) 

(5) Western NY & PA 

(6) Midwest

This is a very interesting lot that includes 100s of maps. Good condition.

We can not ship this lot. It is really heavy!
