$38

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic sheet is a 1965 edition, printed in 1967, and is in very good condition with light handling and foldlines. Printed on thick stock, it covers a stretch of Colorado’s Front Range in Adams, Boulder, and Jefferson counties, taking in Lafayette, Thornton, Broomfield, Northglenn, and Westminster from Baseline on the north to 100th Avenue on the south. It captures the 1960s landscape when much of the area between these towns was still undeveloped rolling plains, drawn from a 1964 and 1965 aerial and field survey. From the vintage map collection of David R. Wortendyke of Boulder, Colorado, the sheet carries a yellow highlight at the title and an inventory stamp in the lower right collar.
