Cibola Arizona Palo Verde Trigo Mountains USGS Topo Map 1961

$41

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1951 edition printed in 1961, and the sheet is in excellent condition – very lightly handled, never folded, smooth and flat on thick stock. Straddling the Arizona-California line along the Colorado River about 45 miles north of Yuma, the quad takes in the communities of Cibola and Palo Verde, the Trigo Mountains, and part of the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge. The river bottomland and desert ranges here mark the low-desert country where the Colorado divides the two states, and this print comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Cibola 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 1940 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.
