1963 Map of Cedar Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Valley of the Gods defines the southern portion of this 1963 survey, characterized by dramatic sandstone formations and early routes through the Utah high desert. The map documents an incredibly high density of Cliff Dwellings and unnamed Ruins concentrated along the deep incisions of Bullet Canyon and Grand Gulch. These sites represent a significant archaeological landscape preserved on the heights of Cedar Mesa, showing the enduring footprint of ancestral Puebloan habitation. Historical transit is marked by the winding path of the Mormon Trail and various Jeep Trails that traverse the plateaus, while prominent landmarks like Balanced Rock and Rooster Butte provide essential navigation points. The map also includes the eastern margins of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, capturing the area just as modern recreational and preservation boundaries were being established in the mid-20th century.
