Fales Hot Springs California USGS Topo Map 1971 Vintage

Fales Hot Springs California USGS Topo Map 1971 Vintage

$20

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1956 edition printed in 1971, a never-folded sheet in excellent condition with only light handling and a tiny dark blemish in the lower-right quadrant. Straddling the California–Nevada line in the high country west of Hawthorne, the quad takes in Sonora Junction and the Sweetwater Mountains along with portions of Toiyabe National Forest, the Hoover Wilderness, and the Sweetwater Wilderness Study Area. This is rugged Sierra-crest terrain near Sonora Pass, the kind of high, sparsely settled backcountry that draws people who know the eastern slope of the range.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Fales Hot Springs 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. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are 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.
