1985 Map of East Kutz Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Navajo Indian Irrigation Project Main Canal cuts through the northern landscape of this San Juan County quadrant, representing a significant mid-to-late 20th-century water engineering project designed to transform the arid terrain. The map is dominated by the intricate erosional patterns of Kutz Canyon, where the West Fork and East Fork converge amidst a network of smaller draws and mesas. This 1985 provisional edition reveals an industrial overlay on the natural topography, marked by numerous gas wells indicated by the GW labels scattered across the plateaus and canyon floors. This density of energy extraction points, alongside a prominent north-south Pipeline and a Transmission Line, documents the region's role as a major energy production hub in the Four Corners area during the 1980s.
