$47

This is a 15-minute USGS topographic map of the New Harmony quadrangle in southwestern Utah, a 1957 edition printed in 1960 at a scale of 1:62,500 on thick paper stock. The quad covers a stretch of Washington and Iron counties about 20 miles northeast of Saint George, taking in New Harmony, Toquerville, La Verkin, Leeds, and Pintura, along with portions of the Dixie National Forest and the Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness. The 80-foot contour interval traces the steep rise of the Pine Valley Mountains above the lower desert country near the Virgin River. Never folded, with a library stamp in the lower collar, the sheet is in very good condition and suits framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The New Harmony 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 1953 through 1957. 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.
