1973 USGS Topo Map: Shaver Lake, Meadow Lakes, California

$42

This USGS 15-minute topographic map covers the Shaver Lake quad in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills, a 1953 edition printed in 1973 at 1:62,500. The area sits in Fresno and Madera counties about 35 miles northeast of Fresno, taking in Shaver Lake, Pineridge, and portions of the Sierra National Forest and Kaiser Wilderness. The 80-foot contours trace steep country rising toward the high Sierra, and the green woodland tint marks the forested slopes. Never folded, with a flawless map area, it frames well.

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 Shaver Lake 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 1948 and 1953. 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.
