Apple Valley California Bell Mountain USGS Topo Map 1968

$52

A 1957 edition printed in 1968, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition, very lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. It takes in a stretch of California’s high desert in San Bernardino County, north of the city of San Bernardino, with the town of Apple Valley and Bell Mountain within the quad boundaries. Printed on heavy paper with a flawless map area and a clean collar showing no wear or markings, the sheet is a good candidate for framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Apple Valley 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 1952 and 1957. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown.

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-> Apple Valley
* Counties Covered-> San Bernardino
* Rivers and Streams-> Bell Mountain Wash, Desert Knolls Wash, and Wild Wash
