USGS 1:62500-scale Quadrangle for Beaver Island, MI 1956. USGS quadrangle 'Beaver Island', 1956, 1:62500.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A single printed topographic map shows green and yellow land areas surrounded by blue water. Fine contour and depth lines, roads, trails, vegetation symbols, place labels, a coordinate grid, scale bar, and map legend are visible.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue identifies this as a U.S. Geological Survey historical topographic quadrangle, dated 1956, at 1:62,500 scale. The recorded title names Beaver Island, Michigan; the holding institution and creator are the U.S. Geological Survey. Rights are recorded as public domain.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Small map labels and some fine-print marginal text are not fully legible.

Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
