Description
Before computers
Before blueprints
Before modern mapping
Mines were built with notebooks like this.
This authentic antique Mining Transit Book is a surviving field record from the early days of American mining, carried and used by a working mining engineer or surveyor over a century ago. The worn leather cover, softened by time, opens to reveal real handwritten measurements, calculations, claim names, and hand-drawn underground mine maps—not copied later, but recorded on site, often underground.
This is not a blank book.
This is not a reproduction.
This is a working artifact of mining history.
