1954 Map of Emmett Wash

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Vermilion Cliffs dominate this 1954 landscape, forming a massive escarpment between the Paria Plateau and the floor of House Rock Valley. This region of Coconino County is defined by its verticality and the challenges of water management in a desert environment, evidenced by isolated ranching outposts such as Anderson Ranch, Bean Hole Ranch, and the House Kram Ranch. Along the eastern edge of the survey, the Colorado River carves through Marble Canyon, marked by a series of treacherous water features including Hansbrough-Richard Rapids and Cave Springs Rapids. The mapping of cattle-rearing infrastructure like Buffalo Tanks and the Buffalo Range suggests the mid-century reliance on open grazing. Travelers and locals relied on established springs and pools, notably Jacob Pools and Emmett Spr, which served as vital landmarks in an otherwise dry and formidable terrain.
