$42

This is a 1960 edition of the White Hills quad, printed in 1980 on thick stock and kept in excellent condition—never folded, smooth and flat, with a flawless map area. Part of the USGS 15-minute series, it takes in the country around Dolan Springs in Mohave County, Arizona, spanning the Detrital Valley and part of the Mount Tipton Wilderness. This is high desert terrain northwest of Kingman, with the 80-foot contour interval tracing the rugged rise of the surrounding hills. The sheet comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

The White Hills 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, 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 1958 and 1960.

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.
* Cities and Towns-> Dolan Springs
* Counties Covered-> Mohave
* Federal Land Units-> Mount Tipton Wilderness
* Rivers and Streams-> Detrital Wash and Putman Wash
