$38

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1953 edition printed in 1965, in very good condition on thick stock with a flawless map area and never folded. Drawn from aerial and field survey work carried out between 1935 and 1953, it takes in the Kaibab Plateau and the Grand Canyon Highway in Coconino County, along with the community of Jacob Lake and portions of the Kaibab National Forest, the Saddle Mountain Wilderness, and the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The plateau country here is the high, forested approach to the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, and the 50-foot contours trace its rolling ponderosa uplands in detail.

The Jacob Lake 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 1935 through 1953.

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.
