Mount Angeles Washington Olympic NF USGS Topo Map 1964

$32

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1944 edition printed in 1964, in good condition with light handling and foldlines on a clean printed sheet. It takes in country within Olympic National Park about 50 miles west of Seattle, spanning parts of Clallam and Jefferson counties and including portions of Olympic National Forest and the Olympic Wilderness. With 50-foot contours across rugged high country and no towns within its bounds, the sheet reads as a backcountry map of the kind used for travel deep in the Olympic interior, printed on thick stock that holds up well to handling.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP

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.
