Greenfield California Salinas River USGS Topo Map 1973

$30

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1957 edition printed in 1973, in good condition on thick stock with foldlines and considerable handling in the top and bottom portions of the sheet. Covering a stretch of Monterey and San Benito counties southeast of Salinas, it takes in the Salinas River, the town of Greenfield, and part of Pinnacles National Park and the Pinnacles Wilderness. The rugged volcanic country of the Pinnacles, with its spires and talus caves, gives this quad a clear draw for anyone with a tie to that backcountry. It comes from the vintage map collection of Richard Dahlke of Santa Barbara, California.

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.
