Panther Spring California USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1970 Vintage

$36

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1953 edition printed in 1970, in very good condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. Spanning terrain about 40 miles southeast of Redding in Tehama County, the quad takes in part of Lassen National Forest and the Ishi Wilderness, rugged backcountry with 80-foot contours marking the steep relief. This is undeveloped, roadless country in California’s southern Cascade foothills, the kind of high, broken terrain that gives the Ishi Wilderness its remote character. The collar shows only minor storage wear at the center left edge.

The Panther Spring 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 1951 and 1953.

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.
