1892 Map of Canyon De Chelly

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

The dramatic convergence of Canyon De Chelly and Canyon Del Muerto serves as the focal point of this late-nineteenth-century reconnaissance. The landscape is defined by vast mesas and isolated spires, including The Captains and Los Gigantes Buttes, which rise abruptly from the floor of the Chin Lee Valley. This survey, conducted before the area became a National Monument, documents a network of vital water sources like Saelitso Springs, Hospitito Spring, and Cheelimeto Spring that sustained life in this arid corner of the Colorado Plateau.
