Antique Highwood, Illinois 1900 hotsell US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Chicago, Highland Park, Deerfield, Glencoe, Des Plaines, Wheeling IL
Beautiful antique map of Lake County and Cook County north.
Beautiful, antique map of Lake County and Cook County, north of Chicago on Lake Michigan. This is an authentic 1900 edition, 1920 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Illinois looked like more than 120 years ago, before serious development, from Highland Park down to Des Plaines. 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 1920
