Susanville California Janesville USGS Topo Map 1966 Vintage

$39

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1954 edition printed in 1966, and the sheet is in flawless condition: never folded, smooth and flat, on thick stock. Covering a 13-by-17-mile stretch of northeastern California about 70 miles northwest of Reno, the quad takes in the city of Susanville and the community of Janesville in Lassen and Plumas counties, along with portions of the Plumas and Lassen national forests. The 40-foot contours trace the transition from the pine country of the Sierra Nevada foothills toward the high desert edge, the kind of terrain that shaped Susanville’s history as a mountain lumber and ranching town.

Because this sheet was never folded and lies flat, it would frame well for anyone with a tie to the area.

HOW THIS MAP CAN BE USED
In addition to making a fascinating conversation piece, this sheet would look great in a frame or on display, make a unique and prized gift for anyone interested in this area, be perfect as a reference for genealogy studies or general historical research, or fill that missing piece in your collection. Maps of this vintage are printed on durable stock and are well-suited for outdoor activities and recreation of all kinds, including hiking, backpacking, hunting, rafting and kayaking, backcountry skiing, geocaching, general exploration, treasure hunting, etc.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Susanville 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 1947 through 1954. A reddish tint is used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings are depicted. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are 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.
