Mountain City Nevada Owyhee River Owyhee USGS Topo Map 1956

$40

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1936 edition printed in 1956, and the sheet is in excellent condition – very lightly handled, never folded, on thick stock. Straddling the Nevada-Idaho line near Owyhee, the quad takes in the Owyhee River, the ranges known as The Mahoganies, and part of both the Humboldt National Forest and the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, with the communities of Mountain City and Patsville within its boundaries. Drawn from a 1936 field survey credited to geographer R.R. Monbeck, it captures the high, sparsely settled country along the border where the Owyhee River cuts north out of Nevada. Because the sheet was never folded, it lies flat for framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Mountain City 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 1936. 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.
