Antique Gary, selling Indiana 1900 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Lake County, Michigan, Calumet, East Chicago, Ross, Hobart, Liverpool, IN

Beautiful, antique map of Gary, Indiana and surrounding Lake County area on Lake Michigan. This is an authentic 1900 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Indiana looked like 120 years ago, before the real development of the 20th century got underway. 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 these make great gifts.

Edition of 1900, printed 1900

Has some wear and tape repair, but this will add to vintage character when framed. The left and right side are separated. This should be no problem when framed. Just thought I'd leave it up to whoever purchased the map to connect it however they saw fit.
