1955 Map of Carlisle 3 SW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Beef Basin and the surrounding high plateau of San Juan County are documented here in this 1955 survey, revealing a landscape defined by deep geologic fractures and ancient habitation. Several archaeological Ruins are identified near Ruin Park, marking a region where human history is etched into the desert floor alongside natural landmarks like Bobbys Hole and Calamity Mesa. The map captures the complex drainage systems of Cow Canyon and Cross Canyon as they cut toward the River Canyon at the Garfield County line. To the west, the broad expanses of Imperial Valley and Bull Valley contrast with the narrow, linear corridors of Devils Lane, while the seasonal waters of Red Lake and Upper Red Lake provide rare hydrologic points in this arid terrain.
