1962 Map of Bluff NW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Comb Ridge dominates this landscape, forming a dramatic geologic spine that separates the drainage systems of Comb Wash and Butler Wash. In the early 1960s, this area of San Juan County was documented with a focus on its remarkable archaeological density, revealing numerous Cliff Dwelling sites and scattered Ruins tucked into the alcoves of Fish Creek and Mule Canyon. The map illustrates a prehistoric residential pattern concentrated along the vertical sandstone breaks, often found near permanent water sources like Sweet Springs.
