SOIL MAPS: COLORFUL, INCREDIBLY DETAILED; c.1903 ($25-95)
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Soils
Most by J. Bien or A. Hoen, c. 1903; original printed colors
These wonderful, colorful folding maps of U.S. cities and counties hop, skip and jump across the United States from city to county to farm and forest with microscopic detail, most at a scale of an inch to a mile. In up to 14 bright or pastel colors reflecting soil types, they surely show everything then existing, including individual buildings. Size varies greatly, with perhaps 24x28 inches an average. Their condition is generally excellent, having rarely been unfolded. Each is of a city, an area including the city and often others, or of the entire county. Most are on the lower end of the price range. We will be glad to answer any questions about size, coloring, condition, price, and exactly what the map shows (a lot more than just soil!).
