This is the atlas volume to accompany Arnold Hague's 419-page report (not present) on the geology of central Nevada.

Condition: B+

Maps are very good to near fine with pleasant light toning. Plate 7 has a tiny hole at center and plate 11 has a small tear at center. Paper wrappers are detached and heavily chipped, so the atlas sheets should be considered a loose collection of maps.

Estimate: $180 - $220

Sold for: $100
