This is a 1963 edition of the Diaz Peak quadrangle in southern Arizona, printed in 1965 at 1:62,500 and based on aerial and field survey work from 1961 and 1963. The quad covers a 15-by-17-mile stretch of Pima County roughly 35 miles southeast of Ajo, taking in part of the Tohono O’odham Reservation and portions of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and its wilderness. The sheet has never been folded and lies smooth and flat, with a flawless map area and a woodland tint marking the desert vegetation of this stark border country – well suited 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.
