Red Cliff Colorado Vail USGS 7.5-Min Topo Map 1988 Vintage

$48

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1970 edition carrying photorevisions through 1987, printed in 1988 on thick stock and in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded. It takes in the country around Vail in Colorado’s Eagle and Summit counties, running from Mid Vail southward through Two Elks Creek and Battle Mountain down to the community of Red Cliff, and includes portions of the White River and Arapaho National Forests along with the Eagles Nest Wilderness. Surveyed before the southward expansion of the Vail ski area, it records the lifts and structures known at the time, and the map area is flawless, with a University of California inventory stamp in the bottom right collar as the only mark.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1970 Red Cliff map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1987. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1970 and the photorevision year of 1987 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
