Hartville Wyoming Wheatland Guernsey USGS Topo Map 1922

$49

This USGS 30-minute topographic sheet is a 1901 edition, printed in 1922, and survives in good condition on thick stock with foldlines and some age discoloration along them. The quad area sits in southeastern Wyoming north of Cheyenne, taking in Wheatland and Guernsey along with the community of Hartville that gives the sheet its name, and includes portions of Guernsey and Glendo reservoirs. Surveyed in 1895 under geographer Henry Gannett and engraved in 1897, it records the overland routes, rail lines, and older placenames like Lakeview, Uva, and Cassa that predate the modern highway system. The reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map’s contours and symbols.

The Hartville 30-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, 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 1895.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
