Valle Arizona Kaibab Quivero USGS Topo Map 1964 Vintage

$44

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1962 edition printed in 1964, and the sheet is in excellent condition — very lightly handled, never folded, and printed on thick stock. Covering an area of northern Arizona in Coconino County about 40 miles northwest of Flagstaff, the quad takes in Grand Canyon Junction and the community of Quivero, with portions of the Kaibab National Forest within its boundaries. The map’s 1958 through 1962 aerial and field survey captured this stretch of high country on the approach to the Grand Canyon, and this example comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Valle 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 through 1962.

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-> Quivero

* Federal Land Units-> Kaibab National Forest
* Rivers and Streams-> Miller Wash, Red Lake Wash, and Spring Valley Wash
