1852 Antique U.S. Coast Survey Chart, Delta of The Mississippi
Triangulation chart of the Passes of The Delta of The Mississippi. There are four inset maps showing details of the individual passes: First is the Southwest Pass entrance to the Mississippi. The second details South Pass and Garden Island Bay. The third shows the Delta as a whole. Inset four shows Passe a Loutre, Blind Pay and North East Pass. Shows the locations of light houses, shoals, depth soundings, channels, bearings, aids and hazards to navigation, bouys, etc. Detailed sailing instructions and notes are given as well. 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.
