Winslow Arizona USGS 15-Min Topographic Map 1958 Vintage

$37

This USGS 15-minute topographic map is a 1954 edition printed in 1958, and the sheet is in very good condition – lightly handled, never folded, with a flawless map area on thick stock. Based on a 1953 and 1954 aerial and field survey, it covers a stretch of Navajo County about 60 miles east of Flagstaff, taking in the town of Winslow along with Winslow West and part of the Navajo Indian Reservation. The northern high-desert country here sits along the historic Route 66 corridor, and anyone with ties to Winslow will recognize the layout of the town and the surrounding plateau as it stood in the mid-1950s. Because the sheet was never folded and shows a clean map area, it would frame well.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Winslow 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 1953 and 1954. 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.
