1954 Map of Bears Ears

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The twin sandstone buttes of Bears Ears dominate this mid-century survey of the high desert plateau in San Juan County. This area within the Manti-La Sal National Forest is defined by deeply incised drainages like Woodenshoe Canyon and Burch Canyon, where vertical relief separates vast mesas such as Dry Mesa and South Long Point. Human activity is sparse and centered on forest management and remote navigation, evidenced by the Kigalia Ranger Sta and an isolated Airstrip on Elk Ridge.
