$40

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1953 edition carrying 1977 photorevisions, printed in 1978, in very good condition with a flawless map area and only very minor wear along the top collar edge. Straddling the Utah–Arizona line about 25 miles northeast of Page, the quad takes in Lake Powell from West Canyon to Cathedral Canyon, including Dangling Rope Marina and the southern tip of the Kaiparowits Plateau, along with portions of the Navajo Indian Reservation and the Fifty Mile Mountain Wilderness Study Area. Printed on thick stock and never folded, it captures the slickrock canyon country of the Escalante region as mapped after the filling of Lake Powell.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Cummings Mesa 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 1951 and 1953.

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.
