This 15-minute topographic quad of Mayer, Arizona, was first published in 1947 and printed in 1955, based on aerial and field survey work done in 1946 and 1947. Centered in Yavapai County about 65 miles north of Phoenix, it takes in Dewey-Humboldt, Mayer, Cordes Lakes, and Spring Valley, with portions of the Prescott National Forest and the Agua Fria National Monument. This sheet carries a careful detail of its own: a neat red pencil notation at Blue Bell, once a mining camp in these hills. Never folded, smooth and flat on thick stock.

The Mayer 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 1946 and 1947.

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.
