    Description

    SCARCE VINTAGE MAP AND REPORT!!
    This is USGS Mineral Resources map MR-44,
    Tin in the United States
    . Published in 1965, this items is complete with the manila sleeve, the huge map measuring more than five feet wide, and the 9-page article discussing the topic and providing additional details.
    The United States is not known for huge tin deposits but notable amounts and small scale mining have occurred in some areas. This map and article were published to summarize what is known. The article has lots of information, and the map shows all the major locations like Maine, California, South Carolina, and the Black Hills, plus some unfamiliar ones like Montana, Missouri, Washington, Virginia and other surprising states. It could provide some good leads for forgotten mineral collecting locales! A good resource for the mineral collector, or even the modern prospector, since tin is now a strategic metal.
    Expert packing assured. As a map, this item does not qualify for Media Mail, so First Class Mail will be provided.
