Isla Pinta Arizona Cabeza Prieta NWR USGS Topo Map 1970

$44

A 1965 edition printed in 1970, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition, never folded, smooth and flat, with a flawless map area and a clean, unmarked collar. Roughly 65 miles east of Yuma in Yuma County, the quad takes in portions of the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness and Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, including the Sierra Pinta on what was then the Cabeza Prieta Game Range. This is remote southwestern Arizona desert country, drawn at 1:62500 with 40-foot contours across a rugged, largely undeveloped landscape. Printed on thick stock and kept in first-rate shape, the flat sheet is a good candidate for framing.

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
The following places are found within the boundary of this quadrangle. They may or may not be shown or labeled, depending on the map series and vintage.
