Antique Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania 1924 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Jim Thorpe, Lehighton, Palmerton, Poconos, Carbon outlet County, PA
Beautiful, antique map of Carbon County, Pennsylvania, including Jim Thorpe when it was still called Mauch Chunk. This is an authentic 1922 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and US War Department Corps of Army Engineers and is NOT a computer reproduction.
See what historic Lehigh Valley looked like 100 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! Verso is blank.
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
Edition of 1922, printed 1922
