Rood Florida Jupiter Tequesta USGS Topographic Map 1983

$37

This 7.5-minute USGS topographic map is a 1948 edition carrying photorevisions through 1983 and printed in 1983, in very good condition with only light handling and a horizontal foldline where the sheet was folded in half. Covering an 8-by-9-mile stretch of southeastern Florida northwest of West Palm Beach, the quad area takes in Jupiter, Tequesta, and Palm Beach Gardens, along with part of Jonathan Dickinson State Park. The 1983 revision records this stretch of the Atlantic coast as suburban Palm Beach County was filling in around the older shoreline communities. The map area itself is clean, with no markings or blemishes.

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 1948 Rood 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 1983. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1948 and the photorevision year of 1983 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
