Tombstone Arizona Sierra Vista USGS Topo Map 1959 Vintage

$58

This USGS/Army Corps of Engineers topographic map is a 1952 edition printed in 1959, in excellent condition: never folded, very lightly handled, and smooth and flat, with a flawless map area and hole punches along the left collar. The quad sits in Cochise County, Arizona, southeast of Tucson, and its boundaries take in Tombstone along with Fairbank, Lewis Springs, and part of the Sierra Vista area. Tombstone’s silver-boom history is well known, and this sheet maps the surrounding country at a 25-foot contour interval on heavy stock that has been kept clean and unmarked.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Tombstone 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 1951 and 1952. 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.

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.
* Cities and Towns-> Fairbank, Lewis Springs, Sierra Vista, Sierra Vista Southeast, and Tombstone
* Counties Covered-> Cochise
* Federal Land Units-> Fort Huachuca and San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area
