This USGS topographic map of Bagdad, Arizona, is a 1945 edition printed in 1964, at the 15-minute scale with a 50-foot contour interval and a green woodland tint marking vegetated country. Centered on the small mining town of Bagdad in Yavapai County, about 40 miles west of Prescott, the quad takes in rugged desert terrain and includes portions of the Prescott National Forest and the Upper Burro Creek Wilderness. Bagdad grew up around one of Arizona’s large open-pit copper operations, which still works the ground nearby. Printed on thick stock and never folded, the sheet is in very good condition and takes well to framing.

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.
