O’neill Hills Arizona Cabeza Prieta NWR USGS Topo Map 1971

$16

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1965 edition printed in 1971, an uncommon canvas-backed sheet in good condition, lightly handled and never folded. Covering a stretch of remote southwestern Arizona along the Pima and Yuma county line, the quad area takes in portions of the Cabeza Prieta Wilderness, Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, and Organ Pipe Cactus Wilderness, including the Sierra Pinta, the Pinacate Lava Flow, and the Camino del Diablo. The old road and the many forgotten placenames scattered across this desert country, especially the ranch names, record a landscape most people never see up close.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The O’neill Hills 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 1961 and 1965. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are 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.
