1971 Santaquin Utah USGS Topo Map: Mona (1951 Edition)
$42
This 15-minute topographic sheet maps the Santaquin quadrangle in north-central Utah, a 1951 edition printed in 1971 at 1:62,500 with woodland areas shown in green. Covering a stretch of Juab and Utah counties southwest of Provo, the quad area takes in Santaquin, Genola, Spring Lake, and Rocky Ridge, along with parts of the Uinta National Forest and the Mount Nebo Wilderness in the Wasatch Range. The sheet has never been folded and lies smooth and flat, with a flawless map area—well suited to framing.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1951 edition of the Santaquin Utah USGS topographic map. It is an original 55-year-old 1971 United States Geological Survey print in excellent condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Santaquin 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 1947 and 1951. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. 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.
