U.S. Coast Survey Reconnaissance of Entrance & Part of Coquille River Oregon. Comdr. James Alden.

(U.S. Coast Survey- nautical chart- Pacific Ocean)

Issued 1861-62, Washington, D.C. by U.S. Coast Survey.  Lithographed by Knickerbocker, NY. Drawn by Farquhar. Eng. by C.T. Klakring.

Fine mid-19th century coast chart issued by the U.S. Government during the Civil War. Scarce due to imprint date, much scarcer than nautical charts issued prior to and after the Civil War.

Light uniform paper age toning, original fold lines, remaining clean - a pleasing and well preserved example, much nicer than typical for large folding paper charts of this era. Video clearly shows the condition much better than words.

Sheet measures c. 21 3/4" x 15 3/8".

Printed area measures c. 20 1/4" x 14".
