Sikort Chuapo Mountains Arizona Why USGS Topo Map 1963

$34

Printed in its year of first publication, 1963, this USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is in excellent condition, lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. It covers a stretch of the Sonoran Desert in Pima County roughly 80 miles southwest of Phoenix, taking in the Sikort Chuapo and Batamote Mountains, part of the Tohono O’odham Indian Reservation, and the small crossroads community of Why. The 40-foot contours trace remote desert ranges and washes across empty backcountry, and the map area is flawless with only very minor age toning along the bottom collar edge. It 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.
