    Description

    ONLY ONE AVAILABLE!!   GREAT MAP WITH ROCK ISLAND ON IT!!
    This is Illinois Geological Survey Bulletin 38,
    Geology and Mineral Resources of the Edgington and Milan Quadrangles, Illinois
    .
    Published in 1921, this 96-page book comes complete with the original full color
    map that has Rock Island in the NE corner. You can see streets of the city. Rocks in this area range from Cambrian through Pennsylvanian, with younger formation covering those, mainly glacial deposits. Coal is one of the major mineral resources in the area, and there is a section devoted to it, but htere are other minor mineral resources as well. All the formations are described in detail. However the prize here is really the full color map, which has a very nice vintage look and would look amazing framed!
    This is a great book that will give you a better understanding of this rich area. These state reports are often harder to find than USGS bulletins.
    You’ll wait a long time before you see another of these on eBay!
    Expert packing assured. Shipping weight is three pounds. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
