Condition: Good or "Very Vintage” condition, commensurate with age. This map is in great shape for being over 80 years old. Has some wear, foxing, toning, and notations and writing in margin, but this will 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.
