1957 Map of Cedar 3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Point Lookout dominates the central landscape of this mid-century survey, marking the high ground between the deeply incised drainages of the Colorado plateau. The map captures a transitional era of water management in this arid region, evidenced by numerous reservoirs and Lower Monument Reservoir situated along Monument Creek. A notable site for local historians is the School (Aban'd) located near the head of Squaw Canyon, reflecting the consolidation or movement of rural communities as the mid-1950s approached. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes where the plateau drops off into Cross Canyon and Alkali Canyon, while Champagne Spring provides a rare perennial water source in the canyon lands. The boundary between Dolores and Montezuma Counties bisects the southern portion of the sheet, cutting across the rugged canyon floors.
