Deer Park Washington Spokane Fairwood USGS Topo Map 1951

$40

Printed in 1951, its year of first publication, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition, lightly handled and never folded, on thick stock with only small library stamps in the collar. Covering ground north of Spokane, the quad area takes in the town of Deer Park along with Fairwood, Country Homes, Mead, Colbert, Chattaroy, and Milan. Built from 1946 and 1949 aerial and field survey work, it shows the countryside around Deer Park as it stood at mid-century, before much of Spokane’s northern suburban growth. Because the sheet was never folded and lies flat, it frames well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Deer Park 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 1946 and 1949. 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.
