Vintage Original 1971 USGS Geologic Map of the Moon Near Side (I-703) Apollo Era Set
Description
  • Title: Vintage Original 1971 USGS Geologic Map of the Moon Near Side (I-703) Apollo Era Set
  • Description: 1971 first-edition print of the historic Geologic Map of the Near Side of the Moon (Map I-703). Prepared by Don E. Wilhelms and John F. McCauley on behalf of the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA, this exact map series was vital in supporting the landing site selections for the later Apollo lunar surface missions.
    Measures approximately 42.9" W X 35.8" H (109 cm X 91 cm high).
    Scale: 1:5,000,000 (1 mm on the map represents 5 kilometers on the Moon).
    Includes: Original 1971 Map Sheet (I-703) authentically printed first-edition sheet featuring full-color lunar geology stratigraphy, map legends, and cross-sections. Original Tan Mailing Sleeve: The official vintage USGS paper envelope with correct "MAP I-703" stamping, Department of the Interior branding, and historical patina. Explanatory Text Pamphlet (Xerox Copy): Please note that the accompanying scientific text pamphlet is a clean, readable photocopy reference rather than a first-edition print.
    Excellent vintage condition. Held crisp folds well, colors remain bright and un-faded by sunlight, with no pinholes or edge tears. Sleeve shows typical light storage wear, edge crinkling, and minor surface aging expected of paper ephemera from over 50 years ago.
    Note 1st photo is a pdf from The Lunar and Planetary Institute's website. All others are of the actual piece.
