About the Item
An antique map titled 'Map of Alaska Compiled Under the Direction of R.U. Goode, Geographer,' which relies on data from both the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey; a significant historical document. Here are some aspects of this map that stand out:
**Geographical Detail**: The map incorporates data from the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, it offers a highly detailed view of Alaska's topography and watershed. This level of detail includes mountain ranges, river systems, elevations, and other physical features such as lakes, forests, and glaciers.
**Inset of the Aleutian Islands**: The inclusion of an inset depicting the Aleutian Islands suggests the map's comprehensive nature, ensuring these significant, geographically dispersed parts of Alaska are accurately represented. The Aleutian Islands are a chain of islands extending from southwestern Alaska, and their depiction would be essential for a complete cartographic representation of the state.
**Cartographic Accuracy**: The map's compilation under the direction of R.U. Goode, a geographer, indicates that it would have been created with a focus on scientific accuracy and precision, utilizing the most advanced cartographic information and techniques available at the time.
**Historical Importance**: The map could provide insights into Alaska at a particular point in its history around 1904, showing the state before significant modern development, during a time of important exploration and surveying activity.
**Research and Navigation Use**: With its detailed topographic information, the map would have served important functions for research, navigation, and planning. It would have been of particular use to those involved in geological, hydrological, and ecological studies, as well as to navigators and explorers of the region.
**Educational Value**: As a detailed map with scientific backing, it would have been an invaluable educational tool, likely used in academic settings or by government agencies to inform about the geography of Alaska.
**Collectibility**: For collectors of antique maps, this piece would be of particular interest due to its detail, the reputation of the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey for accuracy, and the involvement of a recognized geographer like R.U. Goode. It would also appeal to those with a specific interest in Alaskan history, cartography, and natural sciences.
In summary, this map of Alaska stands as a testament to the scientific cartographic endeavors of its time and would be a prized piece for its rich detail and historical value.
