This 1:62,500 topographic map covers the Gunnison Butte quadrangle in east-central Utah, a 1963 edition printed in 1965 from aerial and field surveys made in 1955 and 1963. The sheet spans the area around the town of Green River, where the Price River joins the Green and the water enters Gray Canyon at the southern end of the Book Cliffs. Printed on thick stock and never folded, it shows this stretch of canyon country before much of it was set aside in the wilderness study areas that cover it today.

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.
