This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1957 edition printed in 1964, in excellent condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. Drawn from a 1953 through 1957 aerial and field survey, it takes in high country in Coconino County about 10 miles southeast of Fredonia, including portions of the Kaibab National Forest and the Kaibab Indian Reservation. Anyone with ties to the Arizona Strip country north of the Grand Canyon will recognize the remote plateau terrain the map depicts, and this sheet comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

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.

PLACENAMES
The following places are found within the boundary of this quadrangle. They may or may not be shown or labeled, depending on the map series and vintage.
