1962 Map of Boundary Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation dominates this 1962 landscape, where the San Juan River carves through the dramatic geological structures of the Four Corners region. Evidence of ancient habitation is marked by several Cliff Dwellings and the Poncho House site, while the mid-century economy is represented by the Tohonadla Oil Field and numerous scattered drill holes and pipelines. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as Comb Ridge, Lime Ridge, and Casa Del Eco Mesa, illustrating the varied topography of Monument Valley. Water sources are vital in this arid environment, with labels identifying Window Rock Spring, Ute Spring, and several flowing wells along Gothic Creek. The map serves as a detailed record of resource extraction and ancestral sites before modern development, anchored by the prominent Boundary Butte on the southern border.
