This USGS topographic map of the Marysvale quadrangle in central Utah is a 15-minute sheet at 1:62,500, first published and printed in 1947 and based on aerial and field surveys from 1937 through 1945. The quad covers a stretch of Piute County south of Richfield, taking in the towns of Marysvale and Junction along the Sevier River, Piute Reservoir, and portions of Fishlake National Forest. Marysvale sits in old mining country, where gold, alunite, and uranium were worked in the hills nearby. Printed on thick stock, the sheet is in excellent condition, never folded, with a small library stamp in the lower collar.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Marysvale 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 1937 through 1945. 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.
