Castaneda Hills Arizona USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1967 Vintage

$40

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1966 edition printed in 1967, and the sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. Drawn from 1964 and 1966 aerial and field surveys, it takes in dry country roughly 25 miles east of Lake Havasu City in La Paz and Mohave counties, with the Bill Williams River running through the quad and portions of the Swansea Wilderness, Aubrey Peak Wilderness, and Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge falling within its boundaries. The map area is flawless, and this is rugged desert backcountry where the river corridor cuts across otherwise sparse and undeveloped terrain. 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.

PLACENAMES
The following places are found within the boundary of this quadrangle. They may or may not be shown or labeled, depending on the map series and vintage.
* Counties Covered-> La Paz and Mohave
* Federal Land Units-> Aubrey Peak Wilderness, Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge, and Swansea Wilderness
* Rivers and Streams-> Bill Williams River, Castaneda Wash, Crozier Wash, and Mohave Wash
