I am hoping the good folks of MAPS-L can help me with a little minor
mystery.
I am in the process of doing a recon of the maps collection. I am
having a little problem figuring out the edition date of the map because
the corner that had that information was ripped.
The strange thing about the map is that it looks like it could have come
from the United States Geologic Folio Series but when I consult the
folio for Mount Stuart, it is a 1903 date instead what I suspect is a
late 1890s edition (possibly 1897). I have checked the USGS Historical
map series and they don't look like the one I have on hand.

The back of this map has text on it but the problem is someone put
canvas on the back and it was laminated. The map seems to have been
somewhat fragile condition. Three of the corners are torn slightly.
Yet, it is a little readable even with the canvas on it...entitled
"Description of the Topographic Map of the United States." The date at
the end of the text says "October 1897." The map was surveyed "1896-1897."
This map has on its left and right borders a list of "Conventional
Signs." The folio version has a list of "Conventional Signs" only on
the right border and they are not the same.
1903 folio version (folio published in 1904 but map edition is 1903)

I cannot seem to find one just like it and there doesn't seem to be an
OCLC record for it either.
Any help you can give me would be most appreciated.
