Gu Achi Arizona Santa Rosa Anegam USGS Topo Map 1964 Vintage

$44

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.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Gu Achi 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 1961 and 1963. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also 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.

PLACENAMES
