The Wickiup Utah Mexican Mountain WSA USGS Topo Map 1967

$25

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1954 edition printed in 1967, a vintage sheet in very good condition that has been lightly handled and carries foldlines from earlier use. It takes in a stretch of Utah’s San Rafael Swell country in Emery County, roughly 50 miles south of Price, and includes parts of the Mexican Mountain, San Rafael Reef, and Sid’s Mountain Wilderness Study Areas within its boundaries. The country here is rugged high-desert backcountry of cliffs, canyons, and reef formations, and at a 40-foot contour interval the terrain reads clearly across the whole sheet.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The The Wickiup 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 1951 through 1954. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. 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.
