$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.

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.
