Blue Arizona Apache NF USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1963 Vintage
$43.00
A 1961 edition of the USGS 15-minute series, printed in 1963, this vintage sheet is in excellent condition on thick stock. The quad takes in a stretch of the Arizona-New Mexico borderlands within Apache National Forest, covering terrain that falls within the Blue Range Wilderness — the namesake feature that defines this rugged corner of Greenlee and Catron counties. Backcountry users, hunters, and wilderness researchers working the Blue Range will find this a useful period reference, and the heavy stock makes it a durable one.
