This USGS topographic map covers the Emigrant Canyon quadrangle in Inyo County, California, a 1952 edition printed in 1980 on thick stock at 1:62,500. The quad takes in part of Death Valley National Park about 60 miles northeast of Ridgecrest, with the Panamint Range rising across the sheet and 80-foot contours tracing its rugged terrain. The map area is flawless and the sheet has never been folded, which makes it a good candidate for framing – fitting for one of the starkest landscapes in the Southwest.

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.
