Marsh Peak Utah Manila McKinnon USGS Topo Map 1908 Antique
$55
Printed in its year of first publication, 1908, this USGS 30-minute topographic sheet is in good condition, lightly handled and never folded. Its bounding box straddles the Utah-Wyoming line about 25 miles northwest of Vernal, taking in portions of the Ashley National Forest and the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation along with the community of Manila. Drawn from an 1905 and 1906 field survey by geographer E.M. Douglas, the map records the Green River country as it was before Flaming Gorge Reservoir filled the canyon. The reverse carries printed reference material about the mapping program of the era.
Out of stock
This antique sheet is a 1908 edition of the Marsh Peak Utah USGS topographic map. It is an authentic 118-year-old United States Geological Survey print in good condition.
HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Marsh Peak 30-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, 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 1905 and 1906.
A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
