This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1901 edition printed in 1955, and its map area is flawless, with a collar showing no wear, tears, or markings. Covering roughly 14 by 17 miles about 70 miles east of Phoenix, the quad takes in the Gila County mining town of Globe along with Claypool, Central Heights, and part of the Tonto National Forest. Surveyed in 1900 and 1901 under geographer E.M. Douglas and drawn before Miami existed, it records the early travel routes, placenames, and houses known in the Globe area at that time. Printed on thick stock, never folded, and from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Globe 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 1900 and 1901. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be 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.
