1952 Map of Clay Hills 4 SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Monument Valley terrain dominates this mid-century survey of the Navajo Indian Reservation, where dramatic geological formations are identified by evocative local names. The landscape is defined by massive sandstone features like Sentinel Mesa, King On His Throne, and Brighams Tomb, alongside the smaller Bear and Rabbit and Big Chief formations. Human presence is marked by sparse settlements labeled simply as Hogans and Hogan, indicating traditional dwellings of the area. A complex network of ephemeral drainages, including Douglas Wash, Eagle Rock Wash, and Stagecoach Wash, cuts through the plateau beneath the high expanse of Douglas Mesa. This preliminary edition captures the intricate topography of the Utah-Arizona borderlands prior to the widespread development of modern infrastructure in the region.
