Trigo Peaks Arizona Dome Rock Mountains USGS Topo Map 1955

$37

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1954 edition, printed in 1955, and the sheet is in very good condition: lightly handled, never folded, with very lightly age-toned paper on thick stock. Covering a stretch of desert country in La Paz and Yuma counties about 50 miles north of Yuma, the quad takes in part of the Dome Rock Mountains and the Chocolate Mountains along the lower Colorado River corridor. Drawn from a 1933 and 1934 aerial and field survey, it maps rugged, largely undeveloped Arizona backcountry at a 25-foot contour interval, and 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 Yuma
