Bonny Reservoir Colorado Hale USGS Topo Map 1969 Vintage

$32

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1950 edition printed in 1969, a never-folded sheet in excellent condition on thick stock. Its coverage straddles the Colorado-Kansas state line about 25 miles north of Burlington, taking in Bonny Reservoir and the community of Hale across parts of Cheyenne, Kit Carson, Sherman, and Yuma counties. The reservoir that gives the quad its name is the defining feature here, a body of water set into the dry high plains along the Republican River drainage. The map area is flawless, with only minor edge wear along the left collar and an inventory stamp on the bottom collar.

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.
