1989 Map of Cedar Mesa South

About this map

Cedar Mesa dominates this high desert landscape of San Juan County, where the dramatic descent into the Valley of the Gods reveals a terrain shaped by centuries of erosion and sparse human habitation. The famous switchbacks of the Moki Dugway provide the primary route down the escarpment, passing a modern Radio Facility as the road winds toward the floor. This 1989 provisional survey records the isolated Lees Ranch and several utilitarian markers like a Drill Hole and Corral, which speak to the area's grazing and mineral exploration history. Cultural landmarks like the Lady in the Bathtub rock formation and the vast western extent of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area highlight the region's shift toward conservation. Drainages such as Johns Canyon and West Fork Lime Creek carve deep into Pollys Mesa, illustrating the hydrological patterns that define the San Juan backcountry.
