1989 Map of Cedar Mesa South

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Cedar Mesa dominates this 1980s landscape, where the plateau drops sharply toward the Valley of the Gods. This transition is famously navigated by the Moki Dugway, a series of switchbacks carved into the cliff face. The map reveals the sparse human presence in this high-desert region, centered around the Lees Ranch and a remote Radio Facility. To the west, the boundaries of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area encompass the deep incision of Johns Canyon. Local landmarks such as the Lady in the Bathtub rock formation highlight the unique erosion patterns that define the terrain. While the West Fork Lime Creek drains the northern reaches, the presence of a Drill Hole and scattered corrals indicate the region's limited history of grazing and resource exploration.
