Kanab Utah Fredonia Orderville USGS Topo Map 1960 Vintage

$47

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1957 edition printed in 1960, and the sheet is in excellent condition: very lightly handled, never folded, and printed on thick stock that has kept it smooth and flat. Spanning the Utah-Arizona border about 55 miles east of Saint George, the quad area takes in Kanab and Orderville in Utah and Fredonia in Arizona, along with part of the Kaibab Indian Reservation and the Parunuweap and Moquith Mountain Wilderness Study Areas. Drawn from a 1953 through 1957 aerial and field survey, it records the canyon-and-plateau country of Utah’s southern edge, where Kanab sits at the gateway to the region’s redrock terrain. It comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

The Kanab 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 1953 through 1957. 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.
