Leupp Arizona USGS 15-Min Topographic Map 1959 Vintage

$44

This is a 1955 edition USGS topographic map, printed in 1959 on thick stock and in excellent condition, having been very lightly handled and never folded. Covering roughly 14 by 17 miles about 45 miles east of Flagstaff, the quad straddles Coconino and Navajo counties and includes the community of Leupp along with land within the Navajo Indian Reservation. Compiled from a 1953 and 1954 aerial and field survey, it renders the high desert country of the reservation at a time when much of it remained sparsely settled. Since the sheet was never folded and lies flat, it would frame well.

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.
