Rock Island Washington South Wenatchee USGS Topo Map 1967

$41

A 1966 edition of this USGS 7.5-minute topographic quad, printed in 1967 and in excellent condition. The map takes in a stretch of the Columbia River in north-central Washington, spanning Chelan and Douglas counties, with the quad area including Rock Island, South Wenatchee, and East Wenatchee Bench. The sheet was surveyed by aerial and field methods in 1964 and 1966, and its 20-foot contours trace the steep terrain where the river cuts between the two counties. Never folded and kept smooth and flat, it carries only a library stamp in the top collar and would frame well.
