This 15-minute topographic map of the Loyalton quadrangle, a 1955 edition printed in 1980, covers the California-Nevada border country roughly 15 miles west of Reno. The quad area straddles the state line, taking in Loyalton on the California side, Verdi-Mogul and Cold Springs toward Nevada, and portions of the Toiyabe and Tahoe National Forests around Babbitt Peak. Printed on thick stock with green woodland tint marking the forested slopes, the sheet has never been folded, making it well suited to framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Loyalton 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 1953 and 1955. 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.
