1963 Map of Fourmile Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The San Juan Gas Field defines the industrial character of this high desert landscape, where a dense network of pipelines and Gas Wells punctuates the terrain between deep drainage systems. Central to the area is Gobernador Canyon, which serves as a natural corridor for movement through the mesas. The small settlement at Gobernador Camp includes the Gobernador Sch, marking a rare point of permanent habitation in a region primarily dedicated to energy extraction. High elevations like Frances Mesa and Devils Spring Mesa overlook complex canyon systems including Fourmile Canyon and Encierro Canyon. The mapping, updated with 1980s revisions, shows a landscape transitioning from traditional grazing in Navajo Pasture to a high-density utility infrastructure, supported by a remote Landing Strip for regional access.
