San Ardo California Salinas River USGS Topographic Map 1943

$36

This 1943 USGS topographic map of the San Ardo quadrangle in California is a first-year print, published and printed the same year from field surveys done in 1940 and 1941 under geographer T.F. Murphy. At 1:62,500 scale, it covers an area along the Salinas River in southern Monterey County, taking in the small town of San Ardo, the Peachtree Valley to the east, and a corner of San Benito County. The sheet carries a green woodland tint marking vegetated ground, and it dates from the war years, when USGS maps like this one doubled as War Department topographic sheets.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The San Ardo 15-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 1940 and 1941. 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.
