Republic Washington Malo Danville USGS Topo Map 1944 Vintage

$49

This USGS 30-minute topographic sheet is a 1904 edition printed in 1944, and at 82 years the print survives in very good condition, never folded and on thick stock. It takes in a stretch of north-central Washington’s Ferry and Okanogan counties, with the quad area including the town of Republic along with Malo, Danville, Curlew, and Aeneas, and reaching close to the Canadian border at the northern boundary; portions of the Colville and Okanogan national forests fall within it as well. Republic sits in old gold-mining country, and this sheet maps the surrounding mountains at a 100-foot contour interval, drawn from a 1901 field survey under geographer R.H. Goode. The map area itself is flawless, with only minor handling in the bottom collar and a library stamp there.

BACKSIDE LEGEND
A map summary is printed on the back side of the Republic sheet similar to the one shown in the picture. It outlines the history, purpose, and status of the USGS mapping program at the time of the printing in 1944. It also provides instructions on how to read contour lines and a description of how they are used to depict the terrain. At the bottom of the page is a legend showing all of the symbols used to represent the cultural, relief, and water features found on the map.

This vintage sheet is a 1904 edition of the Republic Washington USGS topographic map. It is an original 82-year-old 1944 United States Geological Survey print in very good condition.

HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Republic 30-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 1901.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
