The map has contemporary color and was issued folding, and has been professionally backed in archival tissue to repair separations and holes along the folds. There is some loss of image due to the holes, which have been repaired with some of the image replaced in facsimile. There is a stain at top left and light toning along several of the folds. The text has very light foxing. The covers are toned and worn with a crease and a chip on the front cover.
