1958 Map of Aneth 1 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century survey of the Utah-Arizona borderlands, characterized by the dramatic erosional geography of Cajon Mesa and West Canyon. This 1958 preliminary edition captures a landscape undergoing a transition from traditional pastoral life to industrial energy extraction. Evidence of the region's ancient history is preserved at the Hovenweep National Monument (Cajon Group), while the contemporary era is represented by a dense network of Oil Wells, Oil Tanks, and a remote Landing Strip. Small settlements like Hogans and Ettul are noted near the winding course of Montezuma Creek, reflecting the sparse but enduring human presence in this arid territory. The mapping provides a detailed look at the resource-rich Four Corners region just as the oil industry was beginning to reshape the local economy.
