Antique Grand Canyon, Arizona 1962 popular US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Kaibab National Forest, Navajo, Mohave, Colorado River Coconino AZ

Beautiful, massive, antique map of the Grand Canyon and surrounding Grand Canyon National Park, Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, Hualapai Indian Reservation, Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation of Arizona. This is an authentic 1962 edition, 1975 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

The USGS only printed a small number of these maps centered around specific geological points of interest. The entire Grand Canyon is pictured. In a normal USGS map it would be divided into many smaller maps because of its immensity. It is one of the largest maps in my collection and is frankly stunning in its presentation and detail since it is still at 1:62500 scale. This map will be the centerpiece and focus of whatever room it is hung in. (See quarter in bottom left corner to get an idea of scale.)

See what the majestic Grand Canyon looked like more than 55 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house and building that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1962, printed 1975
