This is USGS Bulletin 1122-A,
Geology of the Spruce Pine District, Avery, Mitchell and Yancey Counties, North Carolina
, published in 1962. It includes the 26-page book and both of the original geologic maps that combine to make one enormous map of the area!
This publication has loads of information on this interesting area that has produced many great mineral specimens of various kinds. Now here is the amazing part: This entire publication is in remarkably good condition and really looks like it was used very little. The maps especially barely look like they have been unfolded, let alone used. How it survived in such good shape all these years is a mystery, but you get to benefit from it.
