1965 Map of Chevelon Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Chevelon Canyon defines the drainage pattern of this high-elevation landscape within the Sitgreaves National Forest during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a transitional period of infrastructure development, specifically the creation of the Chevelon Canyon Lake reservoir behind the Chevelon Canyon Dam at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Transport through this dissected terrain relied heavily on established fords and primitive routes, such as Mormon Crossing, Chevelon Crossing, and Durfee Crossing. While modern camping facilities like the Chevelon Canyon Campground appear, much of the area remains accessible only by Jeep Trail, highlighting the persistence of traditional movement patterns along drainage features like Alder Canyon and Grapevine Draw. The scarcity of permanent settlements is contrasted by the numerous water improvements for livestock or wildlife, such as Wagon Draw Tank and Trick Tank.
