Sobre este artículo
Washington (DC): US Coast Survey, 1866. Near fine but for small extra crease right upper corner due to being folded in book. B&W, with folds as issued, on thin paper. This chart shows the mouth of the Ohio River where it joins the Mississippi, at the border region of Illinois and Kentucky. Small plans of Mound City and Cairo are present, with a few major buildings (hospital, Naval depot, foundry) shown in the former. Branches of the Illinois Central Railroad are shown in both cities. This was "surveyed by the party of F.H. Gerdes...under orders of Rear Admiral D.D. Porter...Mississippi Squadron." The date on the chart is 1864, but it was included in the 1866 report of the superintendent of the Coast Survey, Alexander Dallas Bache, who was the great grandson of Benjamin Franklin. There are fairly detailed depth soundings of the Ohio River from this area. The number 31 is printed on the chart verso. The image measures 37 x 54 cm.. Very Good. Map.
