Lobo Hill New Mexico Estancia USGS Topo Map 1963 Vintage

Lobo Hill New Mexico Estancia USGS Topo Map 1963 Vintage

$14

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1960 edition printed in 1963, and the never-folded sheet is in excellent condition with a flawless map area. Drawn from a 1958 and 1960 aerial and field survey at 1:62,500, it takes in country around Estancia in Torrance County, roughly 45 miles east of Albuquerque. The Estancia Valley was long known for its dry-farmed pinto beans, and this sheet records the ranching and farming grid of the high plains east of the Manzano Mountains as it stood at mid-century. The sheet carries an inventory/library stamp in the collar and, having never been folded, would sit well under glass.

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.
