Cornplanter's Kingdom: The Allegheny National Forest and Environs
DuBois, PA: Samuel A. King, 1952. Revised, 1952. Folding map, 25x19" printed in red and black. Sportsman's club label to upper margin with some offsetting to lower. Small split at fold intersections, title and a few stains to blank verso, otherwise a clean near fine example.
Very popular map which was originally designed and published by Samuel A. King in 1951, and revised in 1952 and 54. According to OCLC, there were also 1960s and 70s printings under slightly different titles. This map shows the Allegheny National Forest and surrounding counties, with animal silhouettes, tracks, and a portrait of John O'Bail, the Cornplanter, last of the great Seneca chiefs. Made for motorists, hunters, and anglers, it shows paved and clay roads, trails, pipe and power lines, fire and lookout towers, state parks, game lands, airports, and towns with post offices.
The early copies of this map are somewhat scarce, and there are many modern reprints available. OCLC cites 8 holdings for the '51-54 editions, with just 1 being the '52. A lovely example. . Item #9160
