Antique Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, California 1958 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Owens, Kaweah, Sierra, Mount Whitney CA

Beautiful, antique and VERY LARGE shaded-relief map of Sequoia National Park, California and surrounding Fresno, Inyo & Tulare County area, including Tule River Indian Reservation, Owens Valley, Sierra National Forest and Kings River Canyon. This is an authentic 1958 edition, 1965 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what the Sequoia National Forest and Kings Canyon National Park looked like over 60 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then! This map is very large, nearly 3 feet by 4 feet, and the print is as detailed as the smaller USGS maps. The breadth of detail is incredible. (See quarter in first photo for scale.)

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 1958, printed 1965

Dimensions: 33 1/2" width x 42" height
