$65

This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a first-year 1926 print, produced in its year of first publication and in very good condition on thick stock: lightly handled, never folded, with lightly age-toned paper and a repaired edge tear in the left collar. Drawn from a 1924 field survey with Albert Pike credited as geographer, it takes in the high country around Montezuma and Keystone in the Colorado Rockies, spanning parts of Summit, Clear Creek, Grand, and Park counties and including portions of Pike and Arapaho National Forests and the Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness. An illuminating perspective of this rugged landscape before the existence of I-70, the Eisenhower Tunnel, and the ski resorts of Loveland, A-Basin, and Keystone. The reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Montezuma 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, 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 1924. 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.
