$36

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1968 edition printed in 1971, in excellent condition, with a never-folded sheet that is smooth and flat and a flawless map area. Drawn from a 1967 and 1968 aerial and field survey, it takes in the Barker Canyon area of Douglas and Grant counties in central Washington, roughly 84 miles west of Spokane, and reaches part of Banks Lake within its boundaries. The 10-foot contour interval traces the coulee terrain of this stretch of the Columbia Basin in fine detail, and the only mark on the sheet is a library stamp in the top collar.
