Sacaton Arizona Gilbert Coolidge USGS Topographic Map 1907

$95

A historical snapshot of the desert between present-day Coolidge and Queen Creek, surveyed when Queen Creek was a three-structure railroad stop, before suburban expansion of San Tan Valley and Chandler Heights and before the modern road system, showing overland routes, rail lines, ranches, and early placenames. This is a USGS 15-minute topographic map of the Sacaton quadrangle in Arizona, printed in 1907 from a field survey of 1904-1906 led by geographer E.M. Douglas, on a canvas-backed sheet. The quad covers the desert southeast of Phoenix across Maricopa and Pinal counties, taking in Sacaton, Blackwater, and portions of the Gila River Indian Reservation, with the areas of Coolidge, Queen Creek, and Chandler Heights all within its bounds.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Sacaton 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 1904 through 1906. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be 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.
