Provo Utah Uinta NF Spanish Fork USGS Topo Map 1959 Vintage

$36

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1949 edition printed in 1959, in very good condition on thick stock and never folded, with only moderate handling to the bottom of the sheet. Covering a 13-by-17-mile stretch of Utah County, the quad takes in Provo, Springville, Spanish Fork, and Payson, along with smaller communities like Mapleton, Salem, and Benjamin, and reaches into part of the Uinta National Forest. Anyone with ties to the Utah Valley cities strung along the Wasatch Front will recognize this stretch of country as it was mapped at mid-century, and the map itself carries ASU library stamps on the lower collar from the decommissioned Arizona university collection it came from.

HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Provo 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 1946 through 1949. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. 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.
