Panther Spring California USGS 15-Min Topo Map 1970 Vintage
$39.00
This USGS 15-minute quad, a 1953 edition printed in 1970, is in very good condition for a sheet of its age and is printed on thick stock. The map depicts a rural stretch of Tehama County in Northern California, taking in portions of Lassen National Forest and part of the Ishi Wilderness within the rugged terrain of the lower Cascade foothills. Researchers and backcountry enthusiasts interested in the Ishi Wilderness — named for the last surviving member of the Yahi people — will find this an especially useful period reference for the area’s topography and land boundaries as they stood in the early 1950s.
