Kings Canyon Colorado North Sand Hills USGS Topo Map 1969

$34

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1955 edition printed in 1969, and the sheet is in flawless condition, never folded and smooth and flat. Set about 15 miles northeast of Walden, the quad crosses the Colorado-Wyoming line and takes in the Medicine Bow Mountains along with the North Sand Hills, spanning parts of Routt, Roosevelt, and Medicine Bow National Forests and the Rawah Wilderness. The high country here draws its character from that stretch of the Medicine Bow range, rugged terrain rendered at a 40-foot contour interval. Having never been folded, this print will arrive ready to frame.

The Kings Canyon 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 1950 and 1955.

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.
