The maps that I have are: Map No 1 , Sheet 1 - General Map Map No 1 ,Sheet 2 - Geologic Map Map No 1 ,Sheet 3 - Rainfall For 1890 Map No 1 ,Sheet 4 - Rainfall for 1898 Map No 2 ,Sheet 1 - Greytown to Boca San Carlos Map No 2 ,Sheet 2 - Boca San Carlos to Lake Nicaragua Map No 2 ,Sheet 3 - Lake Nicaragua to Pacific Ocean Map No 3 - Index Sheet Map No 3 Sheet 1 - Greytown Map No 3 Sheet 2 - Lake Silico Map No 3 Sheet 3 - Rio Negro Map No 3 Sheet 4 - East of Lake Silico Map No 3 Sheet 6 - Boca Colorado Map No 3 Sheet 7 - Tamborcito Map No 3 Sheet 8 - Rio Deseado Map No 3 Sheet 9 - Eastern Divide Map No 3 Sheet 10 - Rio Danta Map No 3 Sheet 12 - Conchuda to Machuca Map No 3 Sheet 13 - Machuca to Castillo Map No 3 Sheet 14 - Castillo to Rio Savalos Map No 3 Sheet 15 - Isla Grande Map No 3 Sheet 16 - Rio Medio Queso to Isla El Padre Map No 3 Sheet 17 - Fort San Carlos Map No 3 Sheet 18 - Lake Nicaragua to Buen Retiro Map No 3 Sheet 19 - Buen Retiro to Brito Map No 3 Sheet 20 - Tambor Grande Ridge Line Map No 4 - Greytown Harbor Map No 5 - Brito Harbor Map No 6 - Caribbean Coast Map No 7 - Lake Nicaragua Profile No 1 Sheet 1 - Lull Route - Variant 1 - Greytown to Boca San Carlos Profile No 1 Sheet 2 - Lull Route - Variant 1 - Boca San Carlos to Lake Nicaragua Profile No 2 sheet 1 - Menocal Route - Greytown to Ochoa Profile No 2 Sheet 2 - Menocal Route - Ochoa to Lake Nicaragua Profile No3 - Childs Route - Variant 1 - Lake Nicaragua to Pacific Ocean Profile No 4 - Childs Route - Variant II - Lake Nicaragua to Pacific Ocean Profile No 5 - Proposed Railroad - Greytown to Rio Savalos (15 ft long?) Profile No 6 - Proposed Railroad - Lake Nicaragua to Pacific Ocean Table of Quantities for Variou Nicaragua Canal Routes Plate XIX A - Diagram of Lake Level Regulation   As far as condition goes, it is in great condition EXCEPT: While in the box, something aparently pierced the cover of the box and there is a hole through the following 6 maps: Map 1 Sheet 1- General Map, Map 1 Sheet 2- Geologic Map, Map 1 Sheet 3 - Rainfall from 1890, Map 1 Sheet 4 Rainfall for 1898, Map 2 Sheet 1 Greytown to Boca San Carlos, Map 2 Sheet 2 - Boca San Carlos to Lake Nicaragua.    The first map has a hole the size of a nickel and the second has a hole the size of a dime while they graduate downward to where it is a simple puncture through 4 thru 6. Also, there is a 1 1/4" rip in the edge of Plate XIX A - Diagram of Lake Level Regulation .They display nicely and all seem as if they may never have been taken from this binder. I'll try to represent condition in the photos. *********** The photos make it appear that there is staining on the folds of the Maps when actually it is from the lighting when I was taking photos. I'd like to reiterate that these maps seem as if they have never been opened and seem to be inperfect condition other then the holes previously stated.**************   No Reserve!   Please Email Any Questions see other listing below  Report of the Nicaragua Canal Commission 1897-99 - maps and profiles Nicaragua Canal Commission Bookseller: ARB Books(Falls Church, VA, U.S.A.)
