Sumner Washington South Hill Auburn USGS Topo Map 1976

$43

This 7.5-minute USGS topographic quad is a 1956 edition revised in 1968 and 1973, printed in 1976 and kept in excellent condition – very lightly handled, never folded, smooth and flat, with a flawless map area. Straddling the King-Pierce county line about 30 miles south of Seattle, the quad takes in Sumner, Puyallup, Auburn, and Pacific along with South Hill, Bonney Lake, and part of the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation. The 20-foot contours trace the river valleys of the Puyallup lowlands, and a library stamp in the top collar marks the sheet’s earlier institutional life. Because it was never folded, it lies flat and takes well to framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Sumner 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, 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 1954 and 1956. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1956 Sumner map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1968 and 1973. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1956 and the photorevision year of 1968 and 1973 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
