Antique Harvey, Illinois 1929 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Chicago order Suburbs, Bremen, Thornton, Oak Forest, Rich, Bloom Flossmoor IL

Beautiful, antique map of Harvey, Illinois and surrounding Cook County area south of Chicago. This is an authentic 1929 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Illinois looked like over 90 years ago before modern development. 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 1929, printed 1929
