Bisbee Arizona USGS 7.5-Min Topographic Map 1978 Vintage

$40

Printed in 1978 with photorevisions through that year over its original 1958 edition, this USGS 7.5-minute topographic sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded. The quad sits in Cochise County in Arizona’s southeastern corner, taking in the town of Bisbee about 23 miles east of Sierra Vista. Bisbee grew up around the copper mines of the Mule Mountains, and a map at this 1:24,000 scale traces the town’s streets and the rugged terrain that shaped it. The map area shows no wear or markings, and with clean sheet condition it would frame well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Bisbee 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, 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. 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
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1958 Bisbee 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 1978. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1958 and the photorevision year of 1978 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
