1940 Map of Elk Ridge

About this map

Blanding serves as the primary outpost on the southeastern edge of this high-desert landscape, surveyed in 1935 and published just before the mid-century. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of the Colorado River at Cataract Canyon and the massive uplift of the Abajo Mountains, including Abajo Peak and Mt Linnaeus. The map reveals a land of cattle ranching and early conservation efforts, shown by the distribution of the Scorup Ranch, Perkins Ranch, and the Kigalia Ranger Sta.
