This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1966 edition printed in 1967, in flawless condition on thick stock and never folded, smooth and flat. Covering a stretch of western Arizona roughly 20 miles north of Wenden, the quad spans parts of La Paz and Mohave counties and takes in portions of Alamo Lake, the Rawhide Mountains Wilderness, and the Harcuvar Mountains Wilderness. This is rugged, largely undeveloped desert country drawn from a 1964 and 1966 aerial and field survey, and the sheet 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.
