$20

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1962 edition printed in 1967, and the sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled with a single horizontal foldline across the middle. Drawn from a 1958 through 1962 aerial and field survey, it takes in country about 25 miles northwest of Jackson, with the town of Flora and the community of Tinsley within the quad boundaries, spanning parts of Hinds, Madison, and Yazoo counties. The Tinsley area sits over one of Mississippi’s early oil fields, discovered in the 1930s, giving this stretch of the state a distinct place in its industrial history.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Flora 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 1958 through 1962. 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.
