A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1962 Edwards map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1983 and 1987. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1962 and the photorevision year of 1983 and 1987 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
