Grand Hogback Colorado Rifle Silt USGS Topographic Map 1959

$35

First published in 1906, this sheet was printed in 1959 and grades flawless – very lightly handled, never folded, and printed on thick stock that has kept it smooth and flat. The 30-minute quad takes in the country north of Rifle in Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties, including New Castle and Silt along the Colorado River valley, with part of the White River National Forest and the Flat Tops Wilderness rising to the north and Rifle Gap Reservoir within its bounds. The map carries the name of the Grand Hogback, the long tilted ridge that runs through this stretch of western Colorado, and was drawn from a 1906 field survey by geographer Hoyt S. Gale.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
