Genuine original color lithographed fold-out dissected topographical map of parts of Hopkins and Webster counties in the Western Coal Fields region of Kentucky, printed more than 110 years ago.

  • The map is drawn on a scale of 1:62,500, with contour lines at 20-foot intervals, and shows roads, towns, schools, churches, and railroads, as well as individual houses and farms!
  • The coverage area is bounded by longitude 87°30' W to 87°45' W and latitude 37°15' N to 37°30' N.
  • Among the named places and features on the map are Coiltown, Fiddlebow School, Silent Run Post Office, Lisman, Clear Creek, Victoria, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, the western portion of Madisonville, Vanderburg, Providence, Nebo, Ramsey School, Pleasant View Church, Manitou, and the Illinois Central Railroad.
  • The map was published by the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. It is identified as the 1909 edition of the Earlington quadrangle, based on surveys in 1907.
  • It is an original , authentic USGS topographic map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine. Overall size is approximately 21" x 17".
  • The map has been dissected and mounted on linen — to facilitate use of the map during research, so the folds would not wear when the map was opened and closed.
  • The dissection and mounting were done in a careful and professional manner for the Lithic Laboratory in Columbus, Ohio.
  • The Lithic Laboratory was established in January 1938 by the Ohio Historical Society for the study of stone tools and flint making by Native Americans in the eastern United States. The laboratory was to function for only a few years, being discontinued on the eve of World War Two, but it played a critical role in the history of modern stone-tool studies.
  • The images show the dissection, which leaves a gutter of space between the panels. Note that there is no missing information; the paper map was neatly cut into pieces and the pieces were slid slightly apart and mounted on linen.
  • The linen used for mounting the map has a soft cottony feel, further adding to the map's charm. It is a delight to hold it in your hands.
  • The map has been folded to approximately 8½" x 5½" and has a handwritten title on the verso, or reverse side, preserved with a slight brushing of varnish.
  • Condition:   It is in very good condition, with no rips or tears. It is an ex-library map, and there are old library markings in the upper and lower margins. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.
