First published in 1938, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet was printed in 1971 and is in excellent condition – very lightly handled, never folded, smooth and flat, on thick stock. Covering an area about 55 miles northeast of Tucson in Graham and Pinal counties, the quad takes in rugged high desert with portions of the Coronado National Forest, the San Carlos Indian Reservation, and the Santa Teresa and Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness areas. The Aravaipa country here is known for its steep canyons and remote backcountry, mapped at a 50-foot contour interval that brings out the sharp terrain; this sheet comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Klondyke 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 1937 and 1938. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be 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.
