Lobo Hill New Mexico Estancia USGS Topo Map 1963 Vintage

$25

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1960 edition printed in 1963, and the never-folded sheet is in excellent condition with a flawless map area. Drawn from a 1958 and 1960 aerial and field survey at 1:62,500, it takes in country around Estancia in Torrance County, roughly 45 miles east of Albuquerque. The Estancia Valley was long known for its dry-farmed pinto beans, and this sheet records the ranching and farming grid of the high plains east of the Manzano Mountains as it stood at mid-century. The sheet carries an inventory/library stamp in the collar and, having never been folded, would sit well under glass.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Lobo Hill 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, 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 1958 and 1960. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS 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.
* Cities and Towns-> Estancia
* Counties Covered-> Torrance
* Water Bodies-> Laguna del Perro
