Snoqualmie Pass Washington Hyak USGS Topographic Map 1965

$21

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1961 edition printed in 1965, in fair condition on thick stock. Covering a stretch of the Cascade crest about 50 miles east of Seattle, the quad takes in Snoqualmie Pass itself along with Hyak, the ski country around the summit, and portions of the Snoqualmie and Wenatchee National Forests, the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, and Keechelus and Kachess Lakes across King and Kittitas Counties. The sheet has been handled considerably and carries foldlines, with wear along the folds but a clean map area free of markings, and the pass has long been the main route over the mountains between Seattle and central Washington.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Snoqualmie Pass 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. 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 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.
