This USGS topographic map centers on Mount Ethel in the Park Range, drawn at the 15-minute scale from a 1955 aerial and field survey. First published in 1955, this sheet was printed in 1974 on thick stock with green woodland tint, covering roughly 13 by 17 miles of the mountains northeast of Steamboat Springs across Jackson and Routt counties. The quad takes in part of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness within Routt National Forest, high country of alpine lakes and the Continental Divide. Never folded and in excellent condition, it would frame well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Mount Ethel 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 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.
