1954 Map of Carlisle 1 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Hatch Point dominates the western portion of this 1954 topographical study, defining a high plateau region where the high desert terrain begins its dramatic descent into the surrounding canyon systems. This preliminary survey, mapped just before the mid-century uranium boom reached its peak in the Four Corners region, captures the stark geography of the Grand and San Juan county line. The landscape is characterized by intricate contouring that illustrates the vertical complexity of the Canyon country and the broad, level expanse of Flat Iron Mesa to the southeast. Human presence is remarkably sparse in this high-altitude desert environment, with the Tank Granary serving as one of the few named landmarks of historical interest for those tracing the early settlement or ranching history of the canyonlands.
