Daton Peak Colorado Routt NF Hayden USGS Topo Map 1965
$28
First published in 1916, this sheet was printed in 1965 on thick stock and is in excellent condition, very lightly handled and never folded. The 15-minute quad takes in high country northwest of the town of Hayden in northwestern Colorado, spanning parts of Moffat and Routt counties and including portions of Routt National Forest. The 50-foot contours trace the ridges and drainages of this stretch of forested mountain terrain, and the map area itself is flawless, with only a light inventory stamp on the bottom collar.
In stock
This vintage sheet is a 1916 edition of the Daton Peak Colorado USGS topographic map. It is an original 61-year-old 1965 United States Geological Survey print in excellent condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Daton Peak 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 1915 and 1916. 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.
