Antique map of Strait of Juan de Fuca, Vancouver Island, San Juan Islands 1874

A very nice map of the Pacific Northwest in the area of Vancouver Island, San Juan Islands, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Depths shown by soundings. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. "Soundings in fathoms." Shows detailed topography and bathymetry of the Straits of Juan de Fuca and waters between Straits of Georgia and Admiralty Inlet. Identifies islands, coastal features, reefs. banks, kelp beds, point of anchorage and mountain peaks. Also gives information on lighthouses, bottom types and tides. Boundary line is shaded red on the side of British possessions, blue on the side of the American possessions. IMPORTANT NOTE: All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
