    SCARCE OLD ITEM!!  COOL OLD MAPS WITH OVERLAY!!
    This is USGS Professional Paper 594-K,
    Geology of the Comstock-Indian Wells Area, Val Verde, Terrell, and Brewster Counties, Texas
    . This 26-page book published in 1969 comes complete with the three original maps. One is a nice full color map of the geology. Another is B&W. The third is a parchment overlay showing areas of subsidence, which I think is where there were caves that collapsed. It didn't show up very well on my photo stand until I slipped a piece of white paper behind it. You can overlay this on the color map and see where these features are located relative to the other geology.
    Comstock and Indian Wells are almost at opposite ends of the area. This area is known for Cretaceous rocks of various ages which mostly include limestones. They worked out a lot of the details of the history of these rocks which are locally folded, faulted, and jointed. There is more history in the rocks than you would think, but I won't spoil the story.
    I think this would be of interest to local residents of this area, especially anyone with a science interest. It would make a good gift. The color map would look pretty cool framed and displayed in a home in the area.
    Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
