Castle Gate Utah Price Helper USGS Topo Map 1968 Vintage

$49

A 1914 edition printed in 1968, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition – very lightly handled, never folded, and printed on thick stock that keeps it smooth and flat. Covering the vicinity of Price in Carbon County, Utah, the quad area takes in the towns of Price, Helper, and Wellington along with Spring Glen and the coal-country settlement of Castle Gate that gives the sheet its name. Surveyed in 1914 under geographer R.B. Marshall and drawn before the modern road and highway system, it records the older travel corridors, rail lines, river crossings, and placenames of this stretch of the Price River country. Its flat, never-folded condition also makes it a good candidate for framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Castle Gate 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 1914. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be 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.
