1893 Map of Abajo

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

Abajo Mts dominate this landscape of the Four Corners region, surveyed by Henry Gannett and the Hayden Surveys during the late nineteenth century. The settlement of Bluff City sits along the northern bank of the San Juan River, representing a remote outpost in San Juan County just above the Navajo Indian Reservation boundary. High peaks including Mt Linnaeus and Abajo Peak rise above a complex network of drainages such as Cottonwood Wash and Recapture Creek, illustrating the difficult terrain encountered by early travelers.
