De Queen Arkansas Dierks Wickes USGS Topo Map 1922 Antique

$50

This USGS 30-minute topographic sheet is a 1913 edition printed in 1922, in excellent condition on thick stock with a flawless map area and edge protectors neatly applied. Surveyed between 1908 and 1911 under geographer R.B. Marshall and engraved in 1913, it takes in the western Arkansas timber country around De Queen, Dierks, Wickes, and Grannis, crossing the state line into Oklahoma’s McCurtain County and including portions of the Ouachita National Forest and Caney Creek Wilderness. Never folded and only lightly age-toned, it depicts the country before the Dierks, DeQueen, and Gillham reservoirs were built, so the river valleys appear as they ran a century ago. The reverse carries printed USGS reference material explaining the map’s symbols and contour lines.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
