Panamint Butte California USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1967 Vintage
$39.00
A 1951 edition of the USGS 15-minute series, printed in 1967, this vintage sheet is in very good condition for its age and produced on thick stock. It depicts a rugged stretch of the northern Panamint Range within Death Valley National Park, taking in portions of both the Death Valley Wilderness and the Argus Range Wilderness — terrain defined by the isolated butte that gives the quad its name. Hikers, backcountry explorers, and desert researchers working in this corner of the park will find it a useful period document of a landscape that sees little visitation.
