$40

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1953 edition printed in 1967, and the sheet is in flawless condition – never folded, smooth and flat, on thick stock. Straddling the Arizona-Utah line about 15 miles west of Teec Nos Pos, its coverage takes in country within the Navajo Indian Reservation, including the community of Red Mesa in the San Juan and Apache county borderlands. Drawn from a 1950 and 1953 aerial and field survey completed before US 160 existed, it shows the mesa country as it was routed and traveled in that earlier era. It comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

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.
