$28

A 1963 edition printed in 1964, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition: very lightly handled, never folded, and printed on thick stock that has kept it smooth and flat. Covering a stretch of the Sonoran Desert about 75 miles south of Phoenix in Pima County, the quad falls within the Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation and takes in the communities of Santa Rosa and Anegam. Mapped from 1961 and 1963 aerial and field survey work at a 40-foot contour interval, it records this remote desert country in fine detail and comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

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.
