Herndon led an 1851 expedition on behalf of the United States to document the Amazon River valley area. POOR/FAIR condition. Horizontal and vertical fold creases, as issued. Heavy chipping, tearing and creasing along the extremities, resulting in some rather long tears and folds. Some chips missing from along the edges. The map is splitting along many of the folds. Minor uneven toning and soiling.
