Eastern third of quadrangle is unsurveyed. This 1930 edition of the Linskey quad, printed in 1947, maps a 15-minute slice of western Arizona’s La Paz County at 1:62,500, drawn from a 1927 field survey by geographer C.W.H. Nessler. The quad area reaches across the desert near Parker and Bouse, taking in part of the Cactus Plain Wilderness Study Area with its drifting sand and low, dry country east of the Colorado River.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Linskey 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 1927. 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.
