Enumclaw Washington Buckley Upper Mill USGS Topo Map 1976

$45

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.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD

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.
