Wickersham Washington Lyman Acme USGS Topographic Map 1974

$43

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1951 edition printed in 1974, and the sheet is in very good condition, lightly handled and never folded on thick stock. It takes in country in Skagit and Whatcom counties north of Sedro-Woolley, with the quad area including Lyman, Hamilton, Acme, and Wickersham along with part of Mount Baker National Forest. The 50-foot contour interval traces the foothill terrain rising toward the Cascades, the kind of ground anyone familiar with this stretch of the upper Skagit valley would recognize. Because the sheet was never folded, it lies flat and is a good candidate for framing.

This vintage sheet is a 1951 edition of the Wickersham Washington USGS topographic map revised in 1951 using aerial photography. It is an original 52-year-old 1974 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. 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 Wickersham 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 1917 and 1918. 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.
