1954 Map of Bears Ears
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The historical Mormon Trail crosses this 1954 topographic record, which captures the remote San Juan County landscape during a period of active uranium prospecting and land management. The Atomic Energy Commission cooperated in the survey of this region, where the twin summits of Bears Ears stand as a central landmark between the deep cuts of Woodenshoe Canyon and Arch Canyon. This era of the Manti-La Sal National Forest is evidenced by the Kigalia Ranger Sta and an Airstrip perched on the high plateau of Elk Ridge.
