Clay Springs Arizona Pinedale Aripine USGS Topo Map 1971
$34
This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1961 edition printed in 1971, and the sheet is in excellent condition — lightly handled, never folded, and smooth and flat on thick stock. It takes in a stretch of Navajo County in eastern Arizona about 20 miles northwest of Show Low, with the small communities of Clay Springs, Pinedale, and Aripine within the quad boundaries, along with portions of the Sitgreaves National Forest and the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. Based on 1958 and 1961 aerial and field surveys, it predates the modern alignment of Highway 260, so it records the road network of that earlier moment; the sheet comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1961 edition of the Clay Springs Arizona USGS topographic map. It is an original 55-year-old 1971 United States Geological Survey print in excellent condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Clay Springs 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 1958 and 1961. 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.
