Good. Wear along fold lines. Infill at a few fold intersections and to covered wagon in lower left corner. Light foxing. Size 39 x 28 Inches. A celebrated aspect of outdoor recreation for the Boy Scouts of America, this is a c. 1960 Boy Scouts of America pictorial map of the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. Thousands of Scouts visit the ranch annually, experiencing the wonders of America at this National High Adventure Base. A Closer Look Using U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps, Philmont's many camps (where backpackers spend nights) and trails are identified. Philmont landmarks, including Baldy Mountain and the Tooth of Time are labeled. A red line highlights Philmont's boundaries. A pictorial border surrounds the map and includes illustrations of Scouts practicing archery, fishing, shooting, and rock climbing, as well as images of the area's vistas and wildlife. The Tooth of Time and a covered wagon appear along the bottom border. Philmont Scout Ranch Philmont Scout Ranch, near Cimarron, New Mexico, was first donated to the Boy Scouts by Waite Phillips, an oil baron, in 1938. He expanded his initial donation in 1941. Today, it is one of the largest youth camps in the world at over 140,000 acres. Crews of Scouts and Venturers participate in backpacking treks and other outdoor activities, with an estimated 24,000 Scouts and adult leaders taking part in treks in 2019. Publication History and Census This map was created by the Boy Scouts of America using U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle topographic maps surveyed in 1955 - 1956 and printed by A. B. Hirschfeld Press of Denver Colorado. Maps like this one were used by boy scouts at Philmont beginning in the late 1950s or early 1960s through the early 1980s when the maps started being lightly 'waterproofed'. The present map is paper, making it certain that it predates the 1980s. At least five examples are cataloged in OCLC and are part of the collections at the University of Michigan, Western Michigan University, the University of Wyoming, the New Mexico Office of State Engineer Library, and the University of New Mexico.
