Zustand: FINE. First printing. Autobiography covering five decades of working as a topographer for the US Geological Survey, across 22 Western states and the territory of Hawaii, spanning two world wars, the Depression, and the coming of age of modern topographic mapping (in fact, Druhot was one of the pioneers of the use of aer…ial photography in topography.) Also includes information about his wife, and his family, who traveled with him throughout the West - to mining country in California (the mother lode, but also Sonoma County and more), Montana, Utah, Arizona and more - - even a chapter on mapping the Olympics. Includes photographs taken by the author that illustrate much about the life on the traveling survey crews of the early 20th century, and it has a picture of the official USGS wagon wheel survey techniques. Endpaper maps of Oahu, Hawaii. Brief commentary from his wife "A Woman's Vantage Point." Index. 238 pp. Slightly oversized format. Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy, still in shrinkwrap.).
