1952 Map of Hite

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Hite serves as a remote hub for travel and resource extraction in the mid-century canyonlands of Garfield and San Juan Counties. The settlement sits at a critical junction where the Colorado River meets White Canyon and North Wash, dominated by the presence of Dandy Crossing (Ferry), which provided one of the few ways to traverse the deep river gorges of the era. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Dirty Devil River and the Colorado, showing the complex drainage systems that carved through Glen Canyon and Cataract Canyon before the river was dammed.
