Historical Coastal Survey Chart: Studies of the North Farallones Islands

This authentic 1883 topographic survey sheet documents a series of nineteen panoramic coastal views of the North Farallon Islands in California. Produced under the precise direction of Assistant Ferdinand Westdahl for the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, the document contains numerous horizontal landscape profiles capturing the islands from various nautical bearings. Rendered with fine linework on weathered parchment paper, the chart serves as an exceptional reference for historical Pacific maritime cartography and early modern geographical reconnaissance techniques.
