Signal Peak Arizona Casa Grande Eloy USGS Topo Map 1960

$49

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1922 edition drawn from A.B. Searle’s field survey that year, printed in 1960 and in excellent condition: never folded, smooth and flat, with a flawless map area and only hole punches along the left collar. Covering roughly 14 by 17 miles of Pinal County southeast of Phoenix, the quad takes in Casa Grande and the surrounding towns of Eloy, Coolidge, and Arizona City, along with the communities of Toltec, Randolph, and La Palma, plus part of the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument and portions of the Gila River and Tohono O’odham reservations. The monument preserves the great Hohokam earthen structure that gives the area its name, and the map records the irrigated farm country that grew up across this stretch of desert. Printed on thick stock and never folded, the sheet is well suited to framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Signal Peak 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 1922. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be shown.

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-> Arizona City, Casa Grande, Coolidge, Eloy, La Palma, Randolph, and Toltec
* Counties Covered-> Pinal
* Federal Land Units-> Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Gila River Indian Reservation, and Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation
* Rivers and Streams-> McClellan Wash and North Branch Santa Cruz Wash
