Antique Poughkeepsie, New York 1903 US Geological store Survey Topographic Map – Hudson River Valley, Wappinger Fishkill Highland Vassar Beacon NY
Beautiful, antique map of Poughkeepsie, New York and surrounding Hudson River Valley area. This is an authentic 1903 edition, 1928 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Poughkeepsie, home of Vassar College, looked like over 115 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! On the back is a description of topographic symbols and map guide.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as this make great gifts.
Edition of 1903, printed 1928
