1959 Hereford Arizona USGS Topo Map: San Pedro River

$37

This 15-minute topographic sheet covers the Hereford quad in southeastern Arizona’s Cochise County, a 1952 edition printed in 1959 at 1:62,500 with woodland tint marking the vegetated slopes. The area spans the San Pedro River valley and the rugged Huachuca Mountains west of it, taking in Sierra Vista and the community of Hereford, with part of the Coronado National Forest in the higher country. The map captures Sierra Vista in its early years, before the rapid growth that followed Fort Huachuca. Never folded, with a flawless map area.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Hereford 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 1951 and 1952. 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.
