Condition: Very Good Vintage condition, commensurate with age. This map is in incredible shape for being over 75 years old. Has light wear, and writing in right margin, but this will all add to vintage character when framed. Map was most likely used in the field. Also has punch holes along left margin, but these are easily-concealed by placing similar colored paper behind the map, as seen in the photos.
