1952 Map of Clay Hills 3 NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century topographic study, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and seasonal drainage patterns. The prominent Monitor Butte stands as a central landmark amidst the complex network of deep incisions carved by Oak Creek Canyon. This preliminary edition map, based on aerial photography from the early 1950s, documents the area before significant modern development, emphasizing natural drainage systems such as Piute Farms Wash and Rockhouse Gulch. Transportation in this era was limited to a single Jeep Trail cutting through the southern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting the isolation and challenging topography of the San Juan County interior during this period.
