Well... mostly right means something!
Great map, great visual, great layered information. So why, you might ask, the "3 star" rating? The Muir Way web site advertised this map as "Devil Tower 1954 Shaded Relief Map". Actual date shown on the map? 1949. This would not matter to many people... unless your birth year is 1954. Thus the mid rating for this product and vendor. Cartography is in the details... and this was a missed detail!

Hi John,
I'm glad you like the map and I'm sorry for the confusion with the year the map was made! The USGS used data from 1949 but this version was actually printed in 1954. You can see in your photo just below the border of the map and above the "Road Classifications" that it says, "Interior-Geological Survey Washington, D.C. 1954". The USGS often will use the same map for multiple years with very slight changes which is why they indicate the year it was printed. I hope this clarifies the date and I apologize for it now matching with your birth year.
Thank you,
Jared
