This 15-minute topographic sheet covers the Torrey quad in south-central Utah, from a 1952 edition printed in 1958 on thick paper, at a scale of 1:62500 with 80-foot contours. The quad takes in the towns of Torrey and Teasdale in Wayne County, part of Capitol Reef National Park, and portions of the Fishlake National Forest, reaching across into Emery County. This is the Waterpocket Fold country along the Fremont River, where the park was still a national monument in these years, and the sheet maps the folded sandstone ridges that define it. Never folded and in very good condition, it carries only minor handling dents and a small repaired tear in the collar.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Torrey 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 and 1952. 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.
