Notom Capitol Reef NP Utah USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1958 Vintage

$46

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1952 edition printed in 1958, and the sheet is in very good condition, never folded on thick stock. Drawn from 1951 and 1952 aerial and field survey, it covers a stretch of south-central Utah spanning Garfield and Wayne counties, and includes Capitol Reef National Park and the Waterpocket Fold. The 80-foot contour interval tracks the steep sandstone country of the fold, the long ridge of tilted rock that gives this part of the park its distinctive terrain. The sheet carries a library stamp in the bottom right collar and some handling wear along the bottom collar.

The Notom 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 1952.

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.
