1914 Postal Route Telegraph Map ALASKA YUKON Coal Mines

Description: Original fold-out color lithographed map of Alaska and western Yukon Territory, published more than 97 years ago by the National Geographic Society. The map opens to a generous 16-1/2" x 21-1/2" and shows the latest explorations by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey. Details include Railroads (finished and proposed) Telegraph and Cable Lines Steamship Routes Overland Postal Routes Settlements Post Offices Mission Stations Telegraph Stations Lighthouses U.S. Public Schools for Natives Volcanoes Mines Glaciers Military Reservations Northwest Mounted Police Stations (Canada) ...and more An inset depicts the western end of the Aleutian Islands, and a squiggly line in the Bering Sea delineates the approximate southern limit of winter ice. The map was engraved by the Matthews-Northrup Works of Buffalo, and it uses blue shading to identify glaciers. Volcanoes are marked by red dots. The scans below give a closer look at some of the detail: This map was published as a supplement to the February 1914 National Geographic Magazine, and it is the original, authentic 1914 map, not a reproduction or modern reprint. It is fully guaranteed to be genuine and is one of the most sought-after original National Geographic maps. Condition: The folds have weakened somewhat and there are couple of small splits and a tiny chip in the upper margin, outside of the image area. Overall, it is clean and sound, and it would make a handsome display. It is blank on the back, with no printing on the reverse side. Please note: You will want to handle this map carefully, as you would any old document. A few of the folds have been reinforced on the reverse side with archival tape. We ship this map to you carefully rolled in a sturdy tube so it will reach you safely. We are pleased to offer it with our unconditional, money-back guarantee. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
