description	This image is a map of the state of Alabama in 1919, showing the topographic maps and geologic folios that are available for sale during that period of time. The map is overlaid with red lines. Those red lines are drawn in different types to represent: "Topographic field work completed. Maps in course of publication," "Topographic maps published," "Topographic maps and geologic folios published," "Maps of same region of two scales," "Triangulation," "Primary traverse," "Level lines," and "Primary traverse and levels along the same lines." On top of the map is a statement that reads "Order maps by names printed in red. No others are published." At the lower right corner, there is a paragraph printed in red that states "A map of the state of Alabama four times the size of this index and without the red overprint is published and for sale by the United States Geological Survey. Price 20 cents. Also this map without overprint. Price 5 cents." The map also shows capitals, counties, cities, towns, forts, rivers, electric railroads, and steam railroads. A map key is provided on the right side to explain the symbols that are used to represent them. Grid lines are used to show townships. There are texts on the back of the map to explain what types of maps are available by the U.S. Geological Survey. The map is an original copy of a printed map and is encapsulated. Except for some wear and tear on the sides, the map is still in good condition.
