This 1:62,500-scale topographic map covers the Apache quadrangle, a 15-minute sheet first published as a 1958 edition and printed in 1963, drawn from aerial and field survey work in 1956 and 1958. The area sits about 30 miles northeast of Douglas, spanning the Arizona-New Mexico line across Cochise and Hidalgo counties, and takes in portions of the Coronado National Forest. This is high, rugged borderland country near the Chiricahua and Peloncillo mountains, with a green woodland tint marking the wooded slopes and the 80-foot contours tracing the steep terrain.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Apache 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 1956 and 1958. 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.
