George Washington’s Mount Vernon Farms Map — 1932 Huntington Library Facsimile of His 1793 Manuscript
$45.00
An engaging vintage facsimile of George Washington’s own map of his Mount Vernon estate, originally drawn in December 1793 and reproduced in 1932 from the manuscript preserved in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California.
The detailed plan depicts Washington’s five principal farms: Mansion House, River, Union, Dogue Run, and Muddy Hole. Numbered agricultural fields appear alongside woodland, roads, waterways, and farm buildings. A table headed “Farms and their Contents” records acreage, while the extensive “References” section reproduces Washington’s observations about the land.
The map offers a fascinating view of Mount Vernon as a working agricultural estate and of Washington’s attention to surveying, land use, and farm management.
The lower margin identifies the sheet as a 1932 reproduction, copyright 1931 by the Huntington Library. Printed facsimile; the handwriting and manuscript features are reproduced from the historical original.
Condition: Age toning, prominent storage folds, scattered spotting, edge wear, and a later blue handwritten annotation at right. See photograph for details. Map only; no accompanying booklet included.
