Sanger Del Ray Clotho California USGS 7.5-Min Topo Map 1923

$66

Printed in its first year, 1923, this USGS 7.5-minute topographic sheet is in good condition on thick stock: never folded, with lightly age-toned paper and only minor wear or tears at the collar. It takes in a stretch of the San Joaquin Valley about 12 miles east of Fresno, with the town of Sanger and the community of Del Rey falling within the quad boundaries in Fresno County. A fascinating historical snapshot of the Sanger region of the San Joaquin Valley, surveyed before the modern road system, showing rail lines, early lateral and canal alignments, and all known structures, churches, and schools. The reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map, and the sheet credits geographer C.H. Birdseye.
