Tusayan Arizona Winslow Dilkon USGS Topo Map 1901 Antique
$65
This USGS Reconnaissance Topo Map is an 1886 edition printed in 1901, a very good, thick-stock sheet that was never folded and shows only very light age-toning. At a scale of 1:250,000, it takes in a broad stretch of northern Arizona from the Hopi Villages south to Winslow along the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, with the quad area including Oraibi, Polacca, Keams Canyon, Leupp, and portions of the Navajo and Hopi reservations. Drawn from an 1883 field survey under geographer Henry Gannett and part of the historic Powell Survey of the 1880s, it records this high desert country as it was mapped in the reconnaissance era, and comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona. The reverse carries printed reference material on the mapping program and how to read the contours.
In stock
This antique sheet is an 1886 edition of the Tusayan Arizona USGS topographic map. It is an authentic 125-year-old 1901 United States Geological Survey print in very good condition.
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.
FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Tusayan 60-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, 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 1883.
A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 60-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. Only about 85 quadrangles (covering about 10% of the continental US) were mapped in this series, all in western states. For the limited areas where the 60-minute map was produced, it was generally a product of the very first USGS survey done for that area. These quadrangles are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
