Clallam Washington USGS 15-Min Topographic Map 1947 Vintage

$50

Printed in its first-published year of 1947, this Army Corps of Engineers topographic sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. The 15-minute quad takes in a stretch of the Olympic Peninsula’s northern coast along the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Clallam County, Washington, with the community of Clallam Bay within its boundaries and Neah Bay lying to the west. Drawn from a 1935 and 1947 aerial and field survey, it records this corner of the peninsula in the years just after the war, and the never-folded sheet with clean map area would frame well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Clallam 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1935 and 1947. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USACE and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

PLACENAMES
The following places are found within the boundary of this quadrangle. They may or may not be shown or labeled, depending on the map series and vintage.
