Enumclaw Washington Buckley Upper Mill USGS Topo Map 1976

$48

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1956 edition printed in 1976, with revisions from 1968 and 1973, and it is in excellent condition – very lightly handled, never folded, and smooth and flat. Covering an area about 34 miles southeast of Seattle, the quad spans the King-Pierce county line and takes in Enumclaw along with Buckley and the community of Upper Mill. The base edition captures the foothill country at the western edge of the Cascades, where the plateau farmland around Enumclaw gives way to rising ground; a library stamp in the top collar and a small inventory notation in the lower right corner are the only marks on an otherwise clean sheet, which lies flat and would frame well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Enumclaw 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, 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 1954 and 1956. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1956 Enumclaw map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1968 and 1973. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1956 and the photorevision year of 1968 and 1973 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
