Monroe Washington Duvall High Rock USGS Topographic Map 1976

$46

First published in 1953 with revisions in 1968 and 1973, this sheet was printed in 1976 and is in excellent condition, never folded and kept smooth and flat. The quad area covers the town of Monroe in the Snohomish River valley northeast of Seattle, spanning parts of both King and Snohomish counties, with Duvall, Woods Creek, and High Rock also within its boundaries. The base map reflects mid-1950s aerial and field survey work carried through updates into the early 1970s, and the flawless map area and clean, unfolded sheet make it a good candidate for framing, marked only by a library stamp in the top collar.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Monroe 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 1952 and 1953. 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 1953 Monroe 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 1953 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.
