1987 Map of Deep Canyon South

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Navajo Indian Reservation dominates this high desert landscape along the border of Utah and Arizona. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosion, where the massive uplift of Piute Mesa is deeply incised by a network of steep-walled drainages. The most prominent of these are Deep Canyon and Piute Canyon, which converge in the central portion of the map. A notable geological landmark, Hawkeye Natural Bridge, is located in the northwest near the winding course of Jackrabbit Canyon. While primarily a map of topography and tribal lands, the inclusion of a small Cem label suggests localized historical settlement or family burial sites within the reservation boundaries. This 1980s-era survey captures the area in its late-twentieth-century state, detailing the precise contours of the mesa as it descends into the complex canyon systems below.
