1952 Map of Dinnehotso

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Monument Valley and its iconic sandstone formations dominate the northwest portion of this 1952 survey, which was conducted in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission. This collaboration points to the era's industrial interests, specifically the extraction of uranium at the Monument No 2 Mine located on the slopes of Yazzie Mesa. The landscape is defined by the massive uplift of Comb Ridge and Garnet Ridge, which channel drainage toward the Laguna Creek valley. Near the center of the map, the Dinnehotso Trading Post serves as a focal point for local activity, supported by a network of an Irrigation Ditch, a levee, and a dam. Geological landmarks like Rooster Rock, Meridian Butte, and a Natural Arch are meticulously recorded, alongside hydrological features such as Sahotsoidbeazhe Creek and the broad Greasewood Flat.
