1954 Map of Emmett Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Marble Canyon and the winding Colorado River dominate the eastern boundary of this mid-century survey, marking the transition between the Navajo Indian Reservation and the sprawling public lands to the west. The landscape is defined by massive geological formations like the Vermillion Cliffs and the Paria Plateau, where elevations drop sharply into House Rock Valley. Sparse human activity is concentrated at small outposts such as Cliff Dwellers Lodge and family operations like Anderson Ranch and Bean Hole Ranch. The presence of several stock tanks and the Buffalo Range indicates the region's reliance on cattle and bison management in an arid environment. Navigating the terrain requires following established paths like Sandhill Crack or tracing the seasonal flows of Emmett Wash and Soap Creek, which carve deep paths through the high plateaus and into the canyon floor.
