1958 Clear Lake Washington USGS Topo Map: Sedro Woolley
$45
This 15-minute topographic sheet, part of the 1956 edition, was printed in 1958 at a scale of 1:62500. It covers a stretch of Skagit and Snohomish counties about 55 miles north of Seattle, taking in Clear Lake, Big Lake, and Lake Cavanaugh, with the town of Sedro-Woolley just to the north. The sheet was never folded and remains smooth and flat, in excellent condition, with a green woodland tint marking the forested country that defines this corner of the Cascade foothills.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1956 edition of the Clear Lake Washington USGS topographic map. It is an original 68-year-old 1958 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 Clear Lake 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 1941 through 1956. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are 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.
