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