Agathla Peak Arizona USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1959 Vintage

$47

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1952 edition printed in 1959, a very good sheet on thick stock that was lightly handled and never folded. Its area straddles the Arizona-Utah line in the Monument Valley country, taking in the community of Oljato-Monument Valley and the surrounding Navajo Nation lands, with Agathla Peak rising within the quad boundaries. The map area itself is flawless, and its subject is one of the most recognizable desert landscapes in the Southwest, all of it laid out at 40-foot contour intervals. 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
