Lochiel Arizona USGS 15-Min Topographic Map 1965 Vintage

$47

This is a joint USGS/Army Corps of Engineers 15-minute topographic map, a 1958 edition printed in 1965, and the sheet is in very good condition, never folded and on thick stock. Sitting about 60 miles south of Tucson in Santa Cruz County, the quad reaches the Mexican border and takes in the small community of Lochiel along with part of the Coronado National Forest. The high desert grassland along this stretch of the borderland is quiet, sparsely settled country, and the 50-foot contour interval traces the rise and fall of the surrounding hills in detail.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Lochiel 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 1946 and 1948. 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.
