Petrified Forest Arizona USGS Topographic Map 1912 Antique

$65

A historical snapshot of the Petrified Forest area, surveyed before Route 66 and long before Interstate 40, showing overland routes, rail lines, ranches, early placenames, and all structures known at the time of survey. A 15-minute USGS topographic sheet of the Petrified Forest quadrangle in eastern Arizona, printed in 1912, its first year, from a 1910 field survey under geographer R.B. Marshall. It covers a stretch east of Holbrook straddling Apache and Navajo counties, taking in portions of what is now Petrified Forest National Park. The age-toned paper carries its original canvas backing and has never been folded.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Petrified Forest 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, 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 1910. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be 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.
