This USGS 15-minute topographic sheet is a 1965 edition printed in 1966, in excellent condition: never folded, smooth and flat, with a flawless map area and a clean collar free of wear or markings. Covering ground in the Yuma Desert of Yuma County, Arizona, the quad sits along the international border and takes in part of the Barry Goldwater Air Force Range, with the Mexico side of the line left unsurveyed on this sheet. Printed on thick stock and drawn from a 1940 through 1965 aerial and field survey, it comes from the vintage map collection of Art Christiansen of Tempe, Arizona, and shows the arid low-desert country of Arizona’s southwestern corner.

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-> Yuma
* Counties Covered-> Yuma
