Fair. Solid paper, nice impression, light uniform brown tone, minor spotting/staining along a seam, and a few small spots. A ~4 inch tear repaired long ago with tape, not a perfect repair, but unobtrusive; additional minor seam reinforcement with archival tape. Small voids at seam intersections, the largest probably about .25 inch wide. The back of the map was used to do some calculations in pencil. Overall a very attractive map.
