1952 Map of Carlisle 2 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep, serpentine path through the center of this 1952 topographic study, revealing a desert landscape defined by stark elevation changes and dramatic plateaus. High points such as Grand View Point and the Murphy Range overlook the surrounding terrain, while the extensive White Rim forms a persistent bench between the river canyons and the higher mesas. The survey provides a precise look at the isolation of Junction Butte and the low-lying Sheep Bottom along the river banks before later land use changes. This preliminary edition was compiled from 1951 aerial photography, capturing the natural drainage patterns and topographical complexity of this San Juan County region in the early fifties.
