1980 Paulden Arizona USGS Topo Map: Chino Valley
$42
This USGS topographic map covers the Paulden quadrangle in north-central Arizona, a 1947 edition printed in 1980 at 1:62,500 scale. The sheet takes in the small community of Paulden and nearby Chino Valley about 25 miles north of Prescott, along with Drake and the upper reaches of the Verde River, and it touches portions of the Prescott National Forest where Coconino and Yavapai counties meet. Printed on thick stock with a green woodland tint marking vegetation, it was never folded and lies smooth and flat.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1947 edition of the Paulden Arizona USGS topographic map. It is an original 46-year-old 1980 United States Geological Survey print in excellent condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Paulden 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. 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.
