Vail West Colorado Avon USGS 7.5-Min Topo Map 1973 Vintage
$42.00
A 1970 edition of the USGS 7.5-minute series, printed in 1973, this vintage sheet is in Very Good condition. The quad takes in a stretch of the central Eagle County high country, including the towns of Vail and Avon, with portions of White River National Forest and Eagles Nest Wilderness falling within the boundaries. Skiers, mountaineers, and historians of Colorado’s ski industry will find particular value here — the 1970 edition captures the area at an early stage of Vail’s development, well before the resort and surrounding valley were built out to their present scale.
