Squaw Creek Idaho Alpha Cascade USGS Topo Map 1948 Vintage

$38

This USGS 30-minute topographic sheet is an 1894 edition printed in 1948, in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. Covering an area of about 25 by 35 miles roughly 45 miles north of Boise, the quad takes in Cascade and the surrounding country of central Idaho, including Smiths Ferry, Ola, and Banks, with portions of the Payette and Boise National Forests and the Cascade Reservoir within its boundaries. The base map traces its origins to an 1891 field survey under geographer A.H. Thompson, showing this stretch of the mountains as it was mapped in the closing years of the nineteenth century. The map area is flawless and the reverse carries printed reference material on reading the sheet.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
