Cochise Head Arizona USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1957 Vintage

$44

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1950 edition printed in 1957, and the sheet is in excellent condition: very lightly handled, never folded, smooth and flat, with a flawless map area and hole punches in the left collar. Covering a stretch of Cochise County about 30 miles east of Willcox, the quad takes in part of the Chiricahua Mountains country, including portions of Coronado National Forest, Chiricahua National Monument, and the Dos Cabezas Mountains Wilderness. Printed on thick stock and never creased, the sheet lies flat, and its 40-foot contours trace the rugged high country around Cochise Head that gives the quad its name.

The Cochise Head 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 1947 and 1950.

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.
