Bozeman Pass Montana USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1978 Vintage

$42

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1951 edition printed in 1978, and the sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded. Covering roughly 12 by 17 miles east of Bozeman along the Gallatin and Park county line, the quad area takes in Bozeman Pass and portions of the Gallatin National Forest and the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area. The pass itself is the crossing that carries traffic between the Gallatin and Yellowstone valleys, and the 80-foot contours trace the steep, forested country that makes this a rugged stretch of southwestern Montana.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Bozeman Pass 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 1951. 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.
