Supai Arizona USGS 15-Min Topographic Map 1970 Vintage

$41

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1962 edition, printed in 1970, and the sheet is in excellent condition: lightly handled, never folded, on thick stock with a flawless map area and a clean collar. Its 80-foot contour interval traces the steep terrain of the western Grand Canyon, taking in part of Grand Canyon National Park and the Havasupai Indian Reservation, with the community of Supai within the quad boundaries some 25 miles west of Grand Canyon Village. Supai sits deep in Havasu Canyon, reachable only by trail, and the tightly spaced contours here convey just how sheer that country is. This sheet comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Supai 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1954 through 1962. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown.

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.
