Condition: C

Original color with numerous cracks caused by the oxidation of the green pigment, some of which have been closed on verso with archival tape. There are four very small (1/8 to 1/4") areas of loss, a few tiny abrasions, and marginal soiling. This map would greatly benefit from conservation.
