    SCARCE PAIR OF ITEMS - UNUSUAL TO FIND TOGETHER!!
    Here is a nice pair of related items:
    The first is Pennsylvania Geological Survey Progress Report 138:
    Geologic Structures of the Northern Plateaus Region of Pennsylvania.
    Published in July, 1951, this item consists of a single folded sheet with the map on one side and some text and the title on the other. The sheet is about 45 inches wide.
    This map and its accompanying data were reissued with revisions from a bulletin of the same name. The bulletin was no longer in print or available, but there was high demand for the map, so this was issued as a stand-alone item. It provides geologic mapping of the Plateaus region. The area is huge, starting at the eastern borders with New York and New Jersey, running a significant length of the northern border with New York, and extending west to include part of Jefferson county. Basically about a third of the state. Several broad anticlines and synclines cross the area, and many wells or drillholes in the area (presumably for fossils fuels) helped provide data to the study and refine the results.
    See the first six pictures for this item.
    However, some questions still remained, so a second report was issued and is included here: Pennsylvania Geological Survey Circular #1.
    Reconnaissance Data on Geologic Structures in Southern Cameron County, Pennsylvania
    . Published in November 1951, this item consists of a single folded sheet with the map on one side and some text and the title on the other. The sheet is about 17 inches wide.
    This provided supplemental information for an area with some unresolved questions. Numerous strike and dip measurements and fold axes are mapped out.
    See the last four pictures for this item.
    This is an interesting pair of items for anyone interested in the geology of the Plateau region, or anyone else that likes vintage maps or Pennsylvania history or geology. It's uncommon to find related items like this still together after 70 years!
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pre
    tty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
