Cummings Mesa Utah USGS 15-Min Topographic Map 1964 Vintage

$64

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1953 edition printed in 1964, on thick stock, in excellent condition – very lightly handled, never folded, and smooth and flat, with a flawless map area. Spanning the Utah-Arizona line roughly 25 miles northeast of Page, it takes in Cummings Mesa and portions of the Navajo Indian Reservation and the Fifty Mile Mountain Wilderness Study Area, with Kaiparowits country to the west. Because the survey work predates the filling of Lake Powell, the sheet shows the Colorado River still running free through Glen Canyon – a view of the landscape that no longer exists.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Cummings Mesa 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 1951 and 1953. 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.

PLACENAMES
