1952 Map of Boot Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape where ancient habitation and vast geologic formations intersect at the Arizona-Utah border. The eastern portion of the map showcases the distinctive topography of Monument Valley, including Boot Mesa and the spire of Hat Rock. Archaeological significance is central to this sheet, which identifies the Navajo National Monument boundary and provides precise locations for the Betatakin Ruin and Keet Seel Ruin, along with numerous other unnamed Cliff Dwellings tucked into the deep sandstone drainages of Skeleton Mesa. The terrain is characterized by massive plateau systems like Hoskinnini Mesa and Naka I Mesa, separated by complex canyon networks including Copper Canyon and Dowozhiebito Canyon. Natural water sources such as Parrish Creek and various Spring points are marked, alongside modern additions like a Windmill and scattered livestock Ponds on the El Capitan Flat.
