Eaton Colorado Fort Collins Ault USGS Topographic Map 1957

$48

First published in 1908, this Eaton sheet was printed in 1957 and is in excellent condition, very lightly handled and never folded. Drawn at 1:125,000 on the 30-minute series, it takes in northern Colorado around Fort Collins and Windsor, with Wellington, Eaton, Ault, Pierce, and Severance within the quad boundaries, and reaches north across the state line into Wyoming’s Laramie County. The eastern portion touches part of the Pawnee National Grassland, and the sheet carries R.B. Marshall’s name as geographer alongside the 1908 field survey behind this early quadrangle.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
